M&M's Peanut Butter Candies
What it is
These are milk chocolate candies with a creamy peanut butter center. Each candy is coated in a colorful, crunchy candy shell. The combination of smooth peanut butter and sweet milk chocolate creates a distinct flavor profile. The candy shell provides a satisfying crunch and prevents the chocolate from melting too quickly in your hands. They are a popular treat for many occasions.
How people cook with it
These candies are often enjoyed as a standalone snack. They can also be incorporated into various desserts for added flavor and texture.
- Snacking on the go
- Adding to baked goods
- Topping ice cream sundaes
- Filling candy bowls
Peanut Butter M&M's are primarily eaten directly from the bag as a sweet and satisfying snack. For baking, they can be stirred into cookie dough before baking, or sprinkled on top of cakes and cupcakes after frosting. They also melt well enough to be incorporated into chocolate bark or used as a topping for brownies. Their colorful shells make them visually appealing in any dessert application. They can also be a fun addition to trail mix.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to the original M&M's, these feature a creamy peanut butter filling instead of a chocolate candy center. This provides a different texture and a richer, nuttier flavor. The candy shell is similar, offering the same satisfying crunch.

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 maintain their texture and prevent the chocolate from melting or becoming stale.
