All About Chocolate - Group Swap

In this swap, each member will get a bag of FLAVORED M&M's that is large enough to share with several people.

Each member will have 3 partners and will send a portion of the bag you purchased to each of your partners.

By each person buying a different flavor (and there are so many new flavors out there) we each will get to try 4 new flavors!!!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to comment below.

Happy Swapping!

EDIT: We have had several who want to join but don't have access to lots of flavors or M&M's at all. IF you can find YOUR local type of candy that would be similar to M&M's, please join in. And, Plain and peanut and crispy are flavors. Please join if you want to! It's all for fun and chocolate!!! =)~

EDIT #2: On the M&Ms - amount to send, I was originally planning to get one (larger) bag of M&Ms that could be easily divided into 4 portions that would give each partner about one individual sized bag of M&Ms (the size you can buy at the check-out counter at most any store - not KING sized). That way it wouldn't cost a LOT and everyone would get to try lots of new flavors. The reason for 4 portions is so each person will get to try their OWN flavor as well. What I ACTUALLY did - I purchased 2 bags of the PREMIUM M&Ms (they are smaller than the family bags). I divided each bag in 1/2 to make 4 packages.

Too bad we don't have flavored M&Ms over here : just the plain chocolate and peanut bags. Otherwise I would certainly have joined. I always like to taste something new :o) Have fun though, this is a great idea !

Greenwoodtree 08/ 3/2008 #

How would we make sure everyone buys a different flavor?

vintervila 08/ 3/2008 #

Yeah, it's a shame but there's no flavored M&Ms down here as well :( Have fun...

Muriel 08/ 3/2008 #

Tracy 08/ 4/2008 #

That sucks!! All we have is plain, peanut & almond here. What kinds of flavors do you have???

happyichigo 08/ 4/2008 #

plain m&ms here too...sob sob!

craftybeachgirl 08/ 5/2008 #

What if you were to change the swap to a 1 partner swap in which flavors will be exchanged. You can send the individule size bags instead.

And for those who have only plain and peanut in their area, they will send candy exclusively to their own country.

Partners could contact each other after partners are assigned and decided who will send what. That way, should you be getting a partner who has the choco and the mint, you don't turn around and send them those back.

Also for the partners who haven't access to the flavored (or any M&Ms at all) can give their partner a choice of 1 out of 2 or 3 chocolate items that they can get there in their country.

COUNT ME IN BUT WE ONLY HAVE PEANUT, CRISPY OR PLAIN M&M'S OR BAGS OF MIXED ONES!! OTHERWISE WE HAVE MILO BARS. AND TIM TAMS!!

Robin 08/ 8/2008 #

Elphagirl.....

I was only just making a suggestion. I probably should have not. This is scrapcat's swap and she will decide how it will go.

And I am sorry if I stepped on toes or messed things up. I posted with out thinking. :-(

Robin 08/ 8/2008 #

yep....the more I read over my comment.....the more I am ashamed of it. I sound like a little snotty pants trying to tell scrapcat how to run her swap. I am so very sorry scrapcat.

I will send you lots of chocolate if you will forgive me.

scrapcat 08/ 9/2008 #

Thanks to everyone for all of the comments. I would gladly open it to anyone willing to substitute a similar candy in the exchange. I do want to keep it with multiple partners tho so we can all have lots of variety. =)

IF you have a candy in your area that would be similar enough to M&M's to share, PLEASE join in!!!

scrapcat 08/ 9/2008 #

Greenwoodtree - good question. One thought I've had was starting a forum when the swap is over and listing everyone in the swap. Each person list the flavors they CAN send and I can appoint a flavor to each person... Anyone have another or better suggestion?

Kasasha 08/13/2008 #

I work at M&Ms World in NYC. We have a lot of flavors that you cant get anywhere else. And after a year of working there I've tried every flavor. Sadly they dont make crispy anymore.

Muriel 08/16/2008 #

Great job 8)

scrapcat 08/18/2008 #

Sorry everyone. Geen trying to sell my house and got an offer/contract on it this weekend. Apparently that makes one lose her mind!!! Partners are now assigned. I will start a forum in the All About Chocolate forums to list what flavors of M&Ms we each have available. Or you can get with your partners and decide what flavors to send on your own.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions! Happy Chocolate swapping!!!
