Alexandria Food Fans: New M&M’s Mint Crunchy Cookie Candy Lands at Walmart
Chocolate, Mint And Crunchy Cookie Come Together In M&M’s Latest Limited-Time Flavor
Alexandria VA – Chocolate and mint may be one of the candy world’s most beloved combinations—or one of its most divisive. For fans who consider mint chocolate a perfect pairing, there is a new reason to make a trip to the candy aisle. M&M’s has introduced Mint Crunchy Cookie, a limited-time flavor arriving exclusively at Walmart in September 2026. The new candy combines a crunchy cookie center with milk chocolate and mint flavor, all wrapped in M&M’s familiar candy shell. Walmart is currently listing the new variety in its online candy selection.
A New Twist On M&M’s Crunchy Cookie
The Mint Crunchy Cookie variety builds on the success of M&M’s Crunchy Cookie, which debuted in 2022. The new version keeps the crispy cookie center but adds the combination of cool mint and milk chocolate. The result is designed to appeal to shoppers who enjoy the familiar chocolate-mint flavor found in cookies and other desserts.
The flavor is also drawing comparisons to Girl Scout Thin Mints. While the two treats aren’t identical, the combination of chocolate, mint and cookie crunch makes the comparison understandable. M&M’s describes the new candy as a refreshing, baked-goods-inspired twist that adds crunch to its lineup.
The Walmart-exclusive candy is being offered in two sizes:
- 2.83-ounce Share Size
- 7.4-ounce Sharing Size
The smaller package is already appearing in Walmart’s online listings, while the broader September rollout brings the product to Walmart stores and Walmart.com. For Alexandria shoppers looking to try the new flavor, availability may vary by store, so checking Walmart’s online inventory before heading out could save a trip.
A Limited-Time Treat
There is one catch for mint-chocolate fans: Mint Crunchy Cookie is a limited-time release. That means shoppers who discover they love the new combination shouldn’t assume it will become a permanent addition to the M&M’s lineup. The product is expected to remain available while supplies last. The timing also gives mint-chocolate lovers an opportunity to enjoy the flavor before traditional holiday mint candies begin filling store shelves later in the year.
Is It Really Like A Thin Mint?
That’s likely to be the biggest question for shoppers. The similarities are obvious—both combine chocolate, mint and a crunchy cookie—but the M&M’s version uses a crunchy cookie center surrounded by milk chocolate and mint, rather than attempting to duplicate the Girl Scout cookie. That distinction could make the new candy appealing even to people who enjoy Thin Mints but want something a little different.
And for those firmly planted in the chocolate-mint camp, the bigger question may be much simpler:
Would you try M&M’s Mint Crunchy Cookie, or does the combination of mint and chocolate still remind you of toothpaste?
