M&M is no stranger to innovation and in the past has introduced varieties including pretzel, crispy (so popular it made a comeback after a limited time run) and coffee nut.

The candy's core will be smooth and soft, which is a departure from previous fillings. Hank Izzo, vice president of research and development of parent company Mars Chocolate, tells CNN, "It was a big technological challenge for us [...] we had to figure out how to not make the chocolate too sticky or too soft that it could collapse."

Caramel is not only a childhood favorite, Izzo says it's trendy, growing and shows no sign of losing popularity. 

Certainly by the way fans are reacting, he seems to be onto something.
