How does this compare with regular Peanut M&M's?

Same peanut-and-shell format, but dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Expect a deeper, less sweet, slightly bitter cocoa flavor.

Are these good for baking?

Yes. They hold their shape reasonably in cookies and brownies and add peanut crunch. Chop them for smaller pieces.

Do the pouches reseal?

Yes, both 18-oz pouches are resealable, which helps keep the candy fresh between servings.

Are they suitable for kids?

The peanuts are a choking hazard for young children. Dark chocolate also appeals more to adult palates.

How should I store them?

Keep the pouches sealed in a cool, dry place. Heat softens the chocolate and can crack or melt the shells.

Our take on the M&M'S Dark Chocolate Peanut 18-Oz Pouch (2-Pack)

M&M's Dark Chocolate Peanut pairs roasted peanuts with dark chocolate in a candy shell, sold in two resealable 18-oz pouches. It is the darker, less sweet sibling of the classic Milk Chocolate Peanut M&M's, aimed at adults who want a deeper cocoa note with the same peanut crunch. The resealable pouches keep pieces fresh for snacking, baking and candy bowls, and the two-pack suits households or party spreads. Compared with standard peanut M&M's, expect a more bitter, less milky flavor that some find an acquired taste.
