Owned by Mars, M&M candies got their start thanks to the U.S. armed forces. For a while, the candies were sold exclusively to soldiers during WWII, but once the war was over, the company expanded. At their most basic, M&Ms are just milk chocolate. However, there are lots of special and limited flavors that pop up periodically. They’re often chosen by customers. Here are the most unique M&M flavors ever, from the United States and around the world:
Crunchy raspberry
A rare sight, but you can still find these in some places online.
Crispy s’mores
M&Ms with a graham-cracker interior.
Orange vanilla cream
A limited edition flavor exclusive to Dollar General in 2018.
Thai coconut peanut
Part of the 2019 new flavor series up to consumer voting.
Lamington
A chocolate, coconut, and jam flavor only available in Australia.
Orange chocolate
You might be able to find these online, but no word on how old they might be.

A limited edition Easter flavor.
Cinnamon
