M&M’s is taking a cue from TikTok with the launch of its first-ever freeze-dried candy, M&M’s POP’d. The caramel-filled sweets deliver the familiar flavor fans love but with a new, puffed texture that gives each bite a light, crispy crunch.
Available in 5.5-ounce pouches, M&M’s POP’d will debut in M&M’s retail stores on November 10 before expanding to retailers nationwide in January 2026. The company also plans to introduce additional package sizes later in the year.
The candy’s creation follows the viral rise of freeze-dried treats on social media, where creators have turned classic snacks into crispy, “puffed” versions. M&M’s POP’d captures that same fun, on-trend energy — transforming a classic caramel favorite into a modern candy innovation.
