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

Same peanut center and candy shell, but dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Expect less sweetness and more cocoa flavor.

No. It is dark chocolate but still a candy, so it stays on the sweeter side. People who dislike dark chocolate may still notice a slight bitterness.

Does it contain peanuts and dairy?

Yes, peanuts are the core ingredient, and M&M's shells contain dairy. Check the allergen line on the bag if you have a nut or milk allergy.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place. Heat melts the chocolate and can make the pieces clump.

Can I use it for baking?

Yes. The pieces hold their shape in cookies and brownies, though the colors may bleed if the dough is wet.

Our take on the M&M'S Dark Chocolate Peanut

M&M's Dark Chocolate Peanut pairs roasted peanuts with dark chocolate inside a candy shell. It is the darker, less sweet sibling of classic Peanut M&M's, aimed at people who find milk chocolate too sugary. The dark chocolate lets more cocoa and nut flavor through, and the peanuts stay whole and crunchy. It suits dark chocolate fans and anyone who wants a peanut candy that is not cloying.
