M&M's Peanut Butter Candies
What it is
These are colorful candy-coated chocolates with a creamy peanut butter filling. Each piece features a smooth milk chocolate shell that gives way to a sweet and slightly salty peanut butter center. The distinct candy shell provides a satisfying crunch and prevents the chocolate from melting too easily in your hands. They are a popular choice for snacking and sharing.
