Ever since M&Ms arrived on the candy scene in 1941, it has been one of the most popular and well-known candies available on shelves. These bite-sized chocolates covered with a thin candy coating have always come in many different colors, but these days, customers also have a wide range of flavors to choose from. With all the limited-time releases and exclusive flavors available in different countries, It is almost impossible to know for sure how many flavors of M&Ms have seen the light of day.

What we do know is that the M&M flavor graveyard is a massive one, including some bizarre M&M flavors you probably forgot about . One in particular that evoked a rather spicy response from fans was the Mexican Jalapeño peanut flavor variety released in 2019. These zesty peanut M&Ms were one of three nutty flavors the brand was testing that were inspired by international flavors, along with Thai Coconut and English Toffee.

How spicy were these spicy M&Ms? When M&M's nutty jalapeño flavor was introduced, it was unsurprisingly met with a wide range of mixed reviews from brave fans who tried the spicy candy.
