description Peanut M&M'S Overview

Peanut M&M'S are candies made from a roasted peanut surrounded by milk chocolate and a thin, colored sugar shell. They are produced by Mars and are distinguished from regular M&M'S by their larger, irregular shape and peanut center. The shell reduces direct contact with the chocolate and gives each piece a crisp exterior, while the peanut adds a firm texture and roasted flavor.

help Peanut M&M'S FAQ

Who manufactures Peanut M&M's?

Peanut M&M's are manufactured by Mars, Incorporated, one of the largest privately held candy companies in the world. They were first introduced to the public in 1954, more than a decade after the original plain chocolate M&M's debuted.

What is the difference between Peanut M&M's and regular M&M's?

Regular M&M's consist of a solid milk chocolate center, while Peanut M&M's feature a single roasted peanut surrounded by milk chocolate. Consequently, Peanut M&M's are noticeably larger, have an irregular round shape, and offer a crunchier texture.

Are Peanut M&M's safe for individuals with tree nut allergies?

Peanuts are technically legumes, not tree nuts, but Peanut M&M's are heavily processed in facilities that handle other nuts. Mars explicitly includes allergy warnings on their packaging, so individuals with severe nut allergies should strictly avoid them.

How many calories are in a standard single serving of Peanut M&M's?

A standard individual 1.74-ounce serving bag of Peanut M&M's contains roughly 250 calories. This serving size also contains about 12 grams of total fat and 7 grams of protein from the roasted peanuts.
