Confirmed: Cheesecake-flavored M&M's aren't an elaborate Photoshop job designed to toy with your fragile, holiday-stress-addled emotions. A representative for M&M's confirmed that the flavor is being sold exclusively at Walmart, retailing for $3.49 per 8-ounce bag. It will start appearing in a store near you in the seasonal candy section, as locations shift from Christmas and New Year's to Valentine's Day treats.

We all know — and love — that M&M's has been tinkering with a million different flavor ideas over the last couple of years. From launching ice cream sundae candies to recreating the iconic Pumpkin Spice latte to teasing a perfectly gooey caramel filling, the brand has been transforming the traditional candy-coated chocolate into anything imaginable — even "coffee nut."
The latest innovation the company has dreamt up is White Cheesecake. And, according to the Impulsive Buy, customers are already spotting them on store shelves.
While we wait to hear back from brand representatives on all the details, here's everything we know so far:
The candies seem to have a white chocolate base and are coated with pink and white candy. The big question on our minds is how they're incorporating the graham cracker crust flavor.
New and limited-edition M&Ms are often exclusive to one chain of stores like Target or Walmart. In this case, the bag was, in fact, found at Walmart; however where you can find these babies is yet to officially be announced.
The packaging looks vaguely Valentine's-themed, so the purchase window for these could be as long as February or March.
