Birthday Cake M&Ms

As most of you probably know, I am a sucker for Limited Edition flavors, especially for standard grocery store items.  So when I saw these Birthday Cake M&Ms at CVS, and they wound up being free with my ExtraCare card and sale, I couldn't get these in my hands fast enough!

These M&Ms are thicker than regular milk chocolate M&Ms - very similar to the peanut butter flavor.  I expected to see white chocolate inside, maybe with sprinkles; however they were solid milk chocolate.  They definitely tasted different than the regular milk chocolate flavor, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  Not quite frosting, but like chocolate with an extra taste of sugar, maybe to mimic the sprinkles on a cake?  Unfortunately these weren't amazing and I probably wouldn't buy them again, but I'm definitely happy to have tried them out!

DSW - Mint Polka Dot Scarf

I got this pretty mint scarf at DSW a while back, and I love how the little silver polka dots play off the sheer mint color! I don't normally wear too many scarves, but I'm seeing lots of cute and unique designs more recently, and I'm trying to remember to actually wear them haha.  These breezy spring days are the perfect time to add a scarf as a fun touch to my regular outfit!
