There’s a question that’s been burning in my soul for a long time.
If I had all of the different types of M&Ms in front of me, which type would I reach for first? What type of M&Ms are the best?
Would it be the creamy peanut butter or the slightly salty pretzel or the triple-the-chocolate megas or the cool, refreshing dark chocolate mint? There are just so many great choices when it comes to M&Ms. As you know, I probably think way too much about them (as evidenced by my scientific study a few weeks back). I probably think way too much about chocolate in general. I really do. It’s kind of sad. But for me, a day without chocolate is a sad day indeed.
So back to the burning question at hand, I decided I needed to answer that question. I decided that the only way to find the answer was buy every single type of M&Ms (the big bags, of course) and invite friends over and conduct a taste test survey.
I was really surprised that almond came in front! It wasn’t my first choice but overall as a group it’s the one that came in as the winner.
What about you? Do your results resemble mine or our group results or something totally different?
Team Peanut Butter!
So where do you folks live??
A lot of these varieties of my all time favorite treat, M&M’s I haven’t run across here in the backwoods of Texas! Guess I need to get out more. But thanks for letting me know they are available! Maybe I can find on Amazon and add to my orders, delivered to my door! What a great life we live in this age!
Do love, use and enjoy you Instant Pot recipes! Thank you for sharing them
I am in Utah!
Hi Karen, we do not have all of these exciting flavours Down Under, but from some mentioned, I love the peanut butter and the almond – YUM….
Cheers from sunny Adelaide 😉
My favorite is peanut followed by plain.
Sorry, Karen, but I still hold that Smarties kick M&M’s butt! Yes, the Nestlé ones that you may not be able to get easily if at all in the USA. Smarties are a more satisfying shape than M&Ms (wider & slightly flatter), have a crunchy shell that has a nicer mouth feel (what’s with the waxiness of an M&M?), and the Smarties chocolate just tastes better. Not sure if it’s officially better quality chocolate, but it tastes richer. 😋
There’s my Canadian input. 😉
Ok you’ve talked me into trying them next time I’m in Canada!!!
Now in full disclosure, I do NOT own Nestlé candy stocks 😉. Too bad, cause come winter holiday time, the amount of chocolate Smarties I buy to decorate my Gingerbread people might pay me back! M&M’S just WON’T do for that precious job 😆.
Hope if you get a chance to try our Canuck Smarties, they tickle your tastebuds too, Karen.
Mint are by far my favorite – I stock up at Christmas time so I can have them all year! 🙂
Team caramel here!!
The caramel ones are my fave, but caramel anything is good in my book. 😋
I agree! Caramel anything is the best, especially with dark chocolate!🤤🤤
Peanut M&M’s are my favorite. I always try the new flavors when they come out,but always go back to peanut.
Peanut M&M’s are my all time favorite. I will try the new flavored they come up with, but I always go back to peanut. Your tasting party sounds like a lot of fun.
Peanut and Almond tied for 1st place.
Peanut M&M’s are my favorite. They’re so addictive.
The peanut butter ones are my absolute favorites. A few of these with some buttery popcorn at the movies is a perfect bite. For my daughter with the peanut allergy, the pretzel ones are the best! But I wouldn’t turn any of them down lol!
And here I thought I invented eating a few peanut butter M&Ms along with a handful of buttered popcorn…it’s the best part of going out to a movie!!!
Crunch upon crunch of sweet and salty deliciousness – I’m craving some now!!! LOL
I would go with almond, but I prefer the Cadbury mini eggs to m&ms.
Love the idea of the mix it up Monday!
The dark chocolate peanut ones are the best, but kind of hard to find around here. I’ll have to try the almond ones!
I always opt for almond anything. Almond Snickers, Almond Joy, almond chocolate chip cookies, the list goes on and on.
Dark chocolate also comes just a hair-width below the almond though. Amaretto over Kahlua. I think you see my drift. Have a GREAT day.
I LOVE the dark chocolate peanut ones. What they really need to do is come out with a dark chocolate peanut butter m&m.
Preach it, Sister!! I’m with you.
OK, yes, I get it, I’m weird! But I LOVE DARK CHOCOLATE!!
p.s. I think your poll was rigged & somebody must’ve paid off your scientific pollsters. hahahaha Bet ya’ll had fun.
Just kidding. Seriously, almond???
We love the following flavors: brownie, caramel and peanut!
Peanut M&M’s have always been my all-time favorite, especially when I was pregnant! My husband’s favorite is peanut butter. My son doesn’t like chocolate at all (appalling!).
Doesn’t matter.
You eat the RED ones last!
And you sing the song.
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
Do you suck them very slowly,
Or crunch them very fast?
Eat that candy-coated chocolate,
But tell me when I ask,
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
There was a short time when I was able to find “Jalapeño M&Ms”. They were pretty good. I haven’t them in a while so, I’m going with “Peanut Butter” or the “Plain”.
Regular M&Ms first and peanut butter 2nd!!!
I second Susan: regular M&Ms number 1!!!
M&m peanut is my fav
I love regular M&M!
I am a peanut M&M girl!
Probably because M&M's are not my favorite, I had no idea that they are made in so many flavors. I'm an Almond Joy girl myself but I try to stay away from those, too. Waaaa………….
Well you should try some of the new ones! You will like them 🙂
I like Mounds but I'll take Almond Joy if I'm in a pinch haha
Karen, I like Mounds better too, because………..DARK CHOCOLATE! Your #10 is my #1. Great poll though.
They have crispy m&m's in the big plastic bag at costco right now!!!!!!!!
I saw! I wish they would have the crispy and peanut butter at the same time 🙂
