What it is
These are chocolate candies with a peanut butter filling. Each piece is coated in a colorful candy shell. The combination offers a sweet and salty flavor profile. The texture is a blend of the crunchy shell, smooth chocolate, and creamy peanut butter center. They are a popular choice for a sweet treat.
How people cook with it
These candies are often enjoyed on their own or incorporated into various desserts. They add a pop of color and flavor to baked goods.
- Snacking straight from the bag
- Adding to cookies
- Topping ice cream
- Mixing into trail mix
M&M's Peanut Butter candies can be eaten directly from the bag as a satisfying snack. For baking, they can be added to cookie dough before baking, where they will melt slightly and spread their flavor. They can also be sprinkled over cakes, cupcakes, or ice cream sundaes for a decorative and flavorful finish. Some people like to chop them up and mix them into brownies or bars. They are versatile for adding chocolate and peanut butter notes to sweet creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain M&M's, these feature a distinct peanut butter filling. This adds a creamy texture and a complementary nutty flavor to the chocolate. The candy shell remains similar, providing the characteristic crunch and colorful appearance.
Who it is for
Home bakers and snack enthusiasts often choose these candies for their sweet and nutty appeal.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining candies fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help prevent the candy shells from cracking and the peanut butter from becoming oily.
