About M&M Candies

It’s hard to resist the sweetness of M&M’s–they’re colorful, crunchy, and can be used to create a host of delicious desserts as you will see! 

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 candies were 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!
