Which Type of M&Ms are Best?

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?

Which type of M&Ms are 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 day not worth living.

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.

We gave each participant a piece of paper and a pencil and set out 10 bowls of M&Ms and let them decide for themselves. Some of the participants were hasty in writing down their responses and others took up to a half hour to decide. 
The men tended to love the almond M&Ms and the women were mostly undecided as a group. As time went on we discovered something really awesome. Mixing and matching the M&Ms makes for a delicious bite. For example, try a handful or the crispy M&Ms with the peanut butter M&Ms. It’s so so so awesome! We also decided that if you put the Mega M&Ms in the microwave for about 10 seconds they are AMAZING. As you may have guessed, it was a great night.  
If you’re wondering here is my response sheet:
First off, let me say that I wouldn’t turn down any of these choices if they were in front of me. But this is the order of what I would choose if I had to.  I just really love peanut butter M&Ms. To me they are absolutely perfect. The crackly shell and the creamy peanut butter inside. I also really really love the mint. I love the dark chocolate with the intense mint. 
At the end of the night we added up all the responses and figured out our results as a group.  Here are the results (from least favorite to most favorite):
10. Dark Chocolate Regular
9.  Dark Chocolate Peanut
8.  Regular Milk Chocolate
7.  Mint
6.  Mega
5.  Peanut
4.  Pretzel
3.  Peanut Butter
2.  Crispy 
1.  Almond

I was really surprised that almond came in front!

What about you?  Do your results resemble mine or our group results or something totally different?

  1. 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………….
