Are Peanut M&M's the same as plain M&M's?

No. Plain M&M's are solid milk chocolate, while these have a whole roasted peanut at the center, so they are larger and crunchier.

Do they contain allergens?

Yes. They contain peanut, soy and milk, and may contain tree nuts, wheat and sesame.

How do they compare with chocolate-covered peanuts?

The core idea is the same, but the candy shell here is thicker and more colorful, and the chocolate layer is thinner than on most chocolate-covered peanuts.

The candy shell slows melting compared with bare chocolate, but they still soften in strong heat, so avoid leaving them in a hot car.

Are they good for party favors and candy buffets?

Yes. The colorful shell and individual pieces make them easy to portion into favor bags or bowls.

Should I keep them in the fridge?

Cool, dry storage is enough. Refrigeration can cause condensation on the shell once the bag comes back to room temperature.

Our take on the Peanut M&M's

Peanut M&M's are milk chocolate candies built around a whole roasted peanut, finished with a hard candy shell. The mix of crunch, chocolate and peanut makes them the heartiest candy in the M&M's lineup, and they hold up better in heat and in a pocket than plain chocolate. They suit people who want a candy with some substance and a salty counterpoint to the sugar. Against chocolate-covered peanuts from other brands, the recognizable shell and the peanut-to-chocolate ratio are the draw.
