There’s even more reason to celebrate this World Chocolate Day. Mars has just announced it’s bringing its cult favourite M&M’s flavour – Pretzel – to Australia this month.

If you haven’t already smashed a pack, the new sweet and salty confectionary is made from a pretzel biscuit, topped in milk chocolate and coated in a colourful candy shell. It’ll even be made here too, at the 40-year-old Mars Wrigley chocolate factory in Ballarat.

In recent months, Mars has also launched mint and crispy honeycomb M&M’s, but I think we can all agree that Pretzel tops the lot.

Andrew Leakey, General Manager of Mars Wrigley Australia, said: “We are thrilled to be introducing a new variant into our bitesize portfolio with our locally produced M&M’S Pretzel for chocolate lovers in Australia to enjoy.”

Pretzel M&Ms are priced at $4.50 a bag and will hit Coles supermarkets from July 13 and Woolworths from July 28.
