Insider
- I tried 24 kinds of M&M candies, including five bars, and ranked them from worst to best.
- White-chocolate peanut M&Ms, mint M&Ms made with dark chocolate, and orange vanilla creme M&Ms were some of my least favorite flavors.
- Many variations of peanut M&Ms earned a place toward the top of the list.
- Overall, peanut-butter M&Ms were my favorite, since each candy had a perfect blend of peanut butter, chocolate, and candy shell.
Since they were introduced in 1941, M&Ms have become an iconic candy with quite a range.
When peanut M&Ms came out in 1954, Mars could've called it a day, kicked back, and lit cigars rolled with $100 bills in an office made of tempered chocolate.
Instead, the company continued to innovate new flavors and varieties. And so, I decided to try a bunch of them to see how they stacked up.
As a writer for Insider, I was sent 24 different M&M candies to review from Mars Wrigley. Although the packages were free for review purposes, a typical sharing-size bag can cost around $3, a party bag can cost around $10, and a bar can cost $2.
