M&M's Peanut Chocolate Candies
What it is
These are small, colorful candy-coated milk chocolate pieces with a roasted peanut center. The candy shell provides a satisfying crunch and prevents the chocolate from melting too quickly in your hands. Each piece offers a combination of sweet chocolate and the savory, slightly oily taste of the peanut.
