M&m's Brand Milk Chocolate Candies

M&M's Brand Milk Chocolate Candies are small, button-shaped candies consisting of a milk chocolate center encased in a colorful, hard candy shell. They are a popular confectionery product, originally created in the United States.

Manufacturers add M&M's Brand Milk Chocolate Candies to other snack foods to provide flavor, sweetness, texture, and visual appeal. They are commonly incorporated into snack mixes, popcorn, and various dessert items.

M&M's Brand Milk Chocolate Candies are a source of added sugars and saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars and suggest keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The colorful shells of M&M's often contain synthetic food dyes such as Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1. In April 2025, the FDA announced a plan to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes, including these. The individual ingredients used to make M&M's are regulated by the FDA.
