How does Peanut M&M's differ from plain M&M's?

Each piece holds a whole roasted peanut instead of solid chocolate. That makes it crunchier, nuttier and a little less sweet.

Do they contain real peanuts?

Yes, a whole peanut sits inside the milk chocolate. People with peanut allergies should avoid them, and the candy is made in facilities that handle nuts.

Do the shells melt in warm rooms?

The hard candy shell holds up better than bare chocolate, but the chocolate inside softens in heat. Keep bags cool and out of direct sun.

Are they gluten free?

M&M's Peanut is generally listed as gluten free in the US, but check the current package label because ingredients and facilities can change.

What sizes do the bags come in?

They are sold in single-serve packs, sharing bags and larger bulk bags. The right size depends on whether you are snacking alone or filling a bowl.

Are they good for parties and candy bowls?

Yes. The colored shells look festive and stay intact, and the pieces are easy to set out and refill.

Our take on the M&M's Peanut Chocolate

M&M's Peanut is a candy made of a whole roasted peanut inside milk chocolate, wrapped in a hard, colored candy shell. The peanut gives it a savory crunch and a firmer bite than plain M&M's, and the shell keeps the pieces from melting on your hands. It suits people who want a chocolate snack with some salt and crunch, and it is a common pick for sharing bowls, movie nights and lunchboxes. Against plain M&M's it is nuttier and less sweet; against peanut butter cups it is crunchier and less rich.
