M&M's Milk Chocolate Candies are perfect for immediate enjoyment as a sweet snack.

For a quick dessert enhancement, they can be stirred into melted chocolate or layered into parfaits. Their colorful shells make them visually appealing for any sweet creation.
How it differs from similar foods

The individual pieces also make them easier to portion and share, and their coating helps prevent melting as readily as a plain chocolate bar in moderate temperatures.

People of all ages enjoy M&M's for their sweet taste and fun presentation.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining M&M's in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage will help prevent the candy shells from becoming sticky or the chocolate from melting.
