How to get Ma&Ya’s and other creative M&M’s candies

Maya Rudolph is now the face of M&M's 

Maya Rudolph is out of control. She has designated herself "Top Banana and Queen of All Cool Stuff." After putting her likeness on the world-famous candy-coated chocolate treats, power went to her head. She renamed them Ma&Ya’s, which is a not-so-subtle play on her own name, and is now proposing a "clamtastic" new type of candy. How can you buy Ma&Ya's? And what are some other options for individuals who want to join the festivities this Valentine's Day?

Who is Lady Awesome?

It's hard to keep up with a woman who is,  according to herself, loved by nearly everyone. In the past, she was the "Chief of Fun Funk." Today, she's "Top Banana and Queen of All Cool Stuff." Last week, however, Maya Rudolph was "Lady Awesome," someone who is peculiarly fond of eating her own face.

That's right. Rudolph's face is now on M&M's, or Ma&Ya's, as they are more appropriately called, and she's taking the popular candy in a whole new direction. Just the other day, she decided what the world is really craving is clams. Thanks to her, Ma&Ya's will now be filled with "chewy, chunky clams." So, if you want the perfect sweetheart treat just in time for Valentine's Day, consider Ma&Ya's candy-coated clams.

How do you get Ma&Ya's?

Don't tell Maya Rudolph, but she isn't the only one who can put their face on the popular candy. Anyone can do it. If you visit the M&M's site, you can choose a color, add text, add images (clip art or custom) and pick your packaging. This means you can create your own customized M&M's Valentine's Day candy to give that special someone on that special day.
