Description
It was like a mint flavored M&M's candies in a green bag. Coating was colored in green and white. Inside of coated candy was mint chocolate. Tasted so good. M&M's Mars did made Mint flavors once a year during Christmas season. Royal Mint is more intense than M&M Mars. It was available between 1984 through 1990 in USA. I bought those often until they stopped. It was made from Canada. They stopped shipping this candy due to import tax issue.

I used to LOOOOVE this candy! I was so young when I ate them that I didn't realize they were m&m's..I always thought they were called "Royals"
I want them back! M&Ms Royals. We need them!
Loved these! Royals are my strongest childhood candy memory. I remember shopping with my mom in a department store where we weren't supposed to have candy, but I had the bag of Royals in my jacket pocket and kept ducking behind clothing racks to slip them into my mouth. Nothing compares to my memory of these, and the mint M&Ms that come out once a year don't even come close.
My aunt & I used to go to the dimestore and buy these candies! We just called them "Royals" I remember those light green choc. M & M's like it was yesterday!
"Have you heard what's happened to chocolate? Chocolate's got a whisper of mint! Chocolate's been a lot more exciting, since it got a little whisper of mint!"
Royals were the bomb!!! Wish they still made them. Nothing else compares to them.
I absolutely loved Royals too. I thought maybe I was the only one who ate them. I remember going to a greenhouse with my babysitter and I was eating a bag of Royals.They were the best. I wish they would bring them back!
I have been trying to find someone for years who remembered these, but I know I was eating them prior to 1984, like late 70s early 80s. Instead of an M on each one, the M was shaped at the bottom into a crown. You're right, no mint chocolate candy they've made since has come close.
As the M&M royals began to disappear from stores, my 13 year old son and I hoarded as many as we could afford. He rationed them to himself ( and to a few select friends) till they were dry and crispy and then he kept the labels in the container where they had been. BRING THEM BACK for his kids now.
