How does the peanut version differ from plain M&M's?

Peanut M&M's have a whole roasted peanut inside, so they are larger, crunchier and less sweet per piece than plain M&M's. Plain ones are smaller and all chocolate.

Are these good for baking?

Yes. The hard shell holds its shape in cookies and brownies and adds crunch. Chop them roughly for even distribution, and expect the colors to vary.

Do they contain peanuts and other allergens?

Yes, peanuts are the main ingredient, and the product contains milk and soy. Anyone with a peanut allergy should avoid them.

How should I store the bag?

Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. Heat softens the chocolate and can cause the shells to crack or bloom.

Is the 38 oz bag resealable?

The bag is a large share format; check the packaging for a resealable closure. Transferring to an airtight container keeps them fresher once opened.

Our take on the M&M's Peanut Candies - 38 oz Bag

M&M's Peanut Candies are whole roasted peanuts in a milk chocolate shell, coated in a hard candy shell that keeps them from melting on your hands. The 38 oz bag is a share-size format for parties, candy dishes, baking and movie nights. Compared with plain M&M's, the peanut version is bigger, crunchier and more filling, with a savory nut center that cuts the sweetness. They are a mainstream crowd-pleaser rather than a premium or gourmet chocolate, and the shell colors vary by batch.
