These do not smell quite as strongly as the Cherry ones, but are still sweet and fragrant. They don’t have any sayings on them, as I don’t think Easter really lends itself to such things and usually sticks with symbols of spring like bunnies, chicks and eggs. The individual pieces are also pink, though two different shades. The package here specifies that it’s a Limited Edition item and has some crocus on the front in addition to the freakishly glossy raspberry close-ups. The format here is the same, dark chocolate covering a raspberry flavored fluff center. When I was offered this preview of the new 3 Musketeers flavors by some PR folks for Mars, it was the prospect of trying the Raspberry 3 Musketeers without having to search five or six stores to find them. Kind of fun, though until I read the package I didn’t realize they were there. They also feature little “conversation” sayings like, “Hug Me”, “Be Mine” and “Crazy 4U”. Some are pink, some are silver with little hearts. There are a few varieties of the little wrappers for the individual candies. The dark chocolate shell is pretty thin, but passably creamy. The center is fluffy and has the slightest salty hit to it that offsets what is otherwise an ordinary cherry flavored fluff. They center on this one is very strongly pink, almost fuschia courtesy of my nemesis Red 40. They smell very strongly of maraschino, even before I bit into it. I eat cherry things in service of my reviews and sometimes when no one is looking. I’ll also admit that my strong dislike of cherry flavored candies has dissolved into the “don’t prefer” column. I admit that I approached these with a bit of trepidation. Like the new 3 Muskteers Mint (not a limited edition item), these are covered in dark chocolate. I was quite surprised that I liked the Strawberry and was rather excited to hear of the new flavors coming out this year: Cherry 3 Musketeers for Valentine’s Day and Raspberry 3 Musketeers for Easter. Last fall they introduced the seasonal Autumn Mini Mix that had Strawberry, French Vanilla and Mocha Cappuccino. Mars has done everything it can with Skittles ( chocolate anyone?), Twix (a home run with the Java!) and Snickers so they’ve moved on to the 3 Musketeers.
