We love delicious M&M desserts! I've got 23 Ways M&M's Will Melt Your Heart {and Not Melt In Your Hands}. M&M’S are small multi-colored button-shaped chocolates and have a candy shell around the chocolate center. They come in many different flavor and color varieties and M&M’s have the signature letter “m” on one side of the candy. This candy slogan “Melt in your mouth, not in your hand” first began in 1954, later after M&M’s was invented in the year 1941 here in the United States.
The invention of the M&M was inspired by the British candy called smarties made by the Rowntree company in 1937. As a result, Mars was inspired to create a candy that could be used for the average American Soldier serving in World War 2. It became so popular, it's one of the most recognizable candies ever!
Don't you just love M&M's?
So which M&M color is your favorite? I always loved orange, but I’ve converted to green over the last couple of years. So, I assume you know these have personalities that come with them don’t you? Which might say something about you?
So here’s the M&M breakdown:
Red is cynical and sardonic, Yellow is happy & gullible, Blue is cool, Green is seductive, Orange is neurotic and Brown shows it’s true colors. Hmmm...I think I can totally relate to Green! Ha! No wonder these candies are so adored. They’ve got so much personality!
