M&M's vs. Peanut M&M's vs. Almond M&M's

Everything in moderation.. if all you do is deny yourself everything you like, you'll eventually eat it all anyway.

Divisive topic!



Cleary the answer is a mix of dark chocolate and peanut butter. No other M&M's exist.

Take bags of peanut butter, almond, mint, and pretzel m&m's Mix thoroughly. Add to blender with ice cream and oreos. Enjoy.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.

My first thought was "only Smarties have the answer", then I realised they are probably not sold in the US. Original M&M's it must be.

No, these are Smarties:

I think I read this on pinterest before...

OMG so hard to choose? Must be situational:

1) Peanut M&M's at the movies with popcorn. With a hole in the box. So yeah Peanut Penis Popcorn.
2) Halloween M&M's when dieting
3) Plain M&M's in baked cookies. Crispy chewy chocalatey yum.
4) Pretzel M&M's never. Fake sub for chocolate covered pretzels which are not salty enough to fly.
5) Peanut butter M&M's only when you ran out of Reese's Pieces. Cause ET!
6) Coconut M&M's all day everyday! Bestest
7) Carrot cake M&M's next Easter. Can't wait to try!
8) Cherry M&M's as your Quinceanera/Sweet 16 party favors (or the devirginization party as we like to call it)
9) Mini M&M's on Frozen Yogurt, to ruin the cals and fat you thought you were saving.
10) Red M&M's for any event that you must host for your in laws. In to-go goody bags of course.
11) Almond M&M's never too. Because raw almonds, if I run out I'd pass up a bag of almond M&M's on my way to the store.
12) Dark chocolate M&M with my morning vitamin, cause antioxidants.
13) White chocolate M&M's in bed, watching Lifetime Movies.


ETA: Cause I forgot some.

Yea not mine just remembered the story and thought I'd share.

You must report back with the champion. Perhaps asking M&M's Mars to send you back the victor from your last tournament to have them fight till consumption. Who knows? Maybe the survivor of your new tournament is the son of the original?

Peanut hands down. Almond comes in 2nd, the rest are just meh at best to crap at worst (I'm looking at you pretzel M&Ms!)

Sorry, it has to be plain. One does not mess with perfection. One does not mess with chocolate which is perfection all by itself. It is to be put in your mouth and savored, slowly. No matter if it is an M&M, Hershey's Bar or other Chocolate Bar. Adding anything to plain chocolate is like hanging fuzzy dice from the rear view mirror of your Ferrari. And the baby on board placard in the rear window. It's just wrong.

Each individual M has 3.44 calories. So if you are few calories below your allowance, have a few. I keep a small bag sometimes and divvy it up over a week or so, just to savor the treat of some chocolate. 10 M's per day will let a bag last a long time.

YOU ARE AMAZING! I bow to your awesomeness!

And I'm Peanut Butter straight from the freezer all the way!

This is true. That's why you should eat some plain M&M's with your peanut M&M's and some mini M&M's on the side. So you can have a balanced meal, and don't eat too much of one.

I'm not picky
