Summer candy season is here, and M&M’s is bringing back one of its most talked-about limited-edition flavors—but you’ll have to know where to look.
The Orange Vanilla Crème M&M’s, often hailed by fans as one of the brand’s best seasonal releases, have officially returned. The catch is that they’re available exclusively at Dollar General stores – you won’t even find them at official M&M’s stores.
Originally launched in 2018, this creamsicle-inspired flavor has made near-annual appearances ever since, thanks to consistent demand and a dedicated fan base.
Unlike traditional M&M’s made with milk chocolate, this version features orange and vanilla-flavored white chocolate inside the brand’s signature crunchy candy shell. It’s a softer, sweeter profile designed to mimic the nostalgic taste of a creamsicle, and judging by its repeated return, it hits the mark for a lot of candy lovers.
Aesthetically, the candies lean into their flavor inspiration, sporting a mix of orange and white shells that stand out in a summer candy bowl. The 9-ounce bags are resealable and designed for sharing, though some fans admit to keeping them all to themselves.
With orange cream-flavored everything showing up across grocery aisles—from cereals to soft drinks—M&M’s version feels right on time. And if history is any indication, these bags won’t stay on shelves long.
So if you’re hoping to stock up, head to Dollar General while they last. Because once they’re gone, it could be another year before the “best M&M’s ever” make their way back.
