M&M's Peanut
77 reviews
Tiny peanuts, smaller pieces, lower quality, and not the same taste or texture as in the past (the expiration date was good, but very stale peanut taste). These are no longer my favorite candies, I won't buy these anymore. Show details
Just bought a bag, grabbed a handful and spit them out. Dramatically worse than even a few months ago. At this point they shouldn’t be allowed to call them candy. I don’t know how this ends but it feels like unless something happens all these major brands are going to be out of business. $11 for a third of a bag of emulsified oil and chemicals Show details
Should have known when they started upping the price and changed the package that the ensh*tification had begun in earnest. The quality of the last few packs I have purchased are equal to the old style knock off brands. The coating is weird, the chocolate chalky, and the peanut is burnt. I've persevered several times ,thinking maybe I just got an… Read more
old/stale pack, but alas, no. They have really dropped the quality and taste. Just as with Cadburys, I will not be purchasing ever again.

I found the special M&M – I love peanut M&M's and in the midst of a busy workday, I stopped to help myself to some of the goodies we have available for purchase...this included cheez-its and my candy coated chocolate coated nuts. I come from the decade where Emeril Rachel and Paula were the voices in your head when you easy baked; the time of collecting planet points on… Read more
chip bags by the garbage bag, freebies and sweepstake entries under bottle caps, special finds in cereal boxes and the outside of said box would be read every time you had a bowl which you must fill at least twice before guzzling the sweet milk; the good ol days. Y'all, I FOUND IT. The "Special" M&M
Disgusting taste - used to love these! – Purchased a packet of peanut M & Ms in August 2023, as I've always loved them. The fumes/odour coming from the packet should have been a warning - the taste is disgusting! Good way to make a company go broke, releasing a product that tastes this bad. I guarantee you that no one will like this taste. Why did they change the recipe? Never again! Show details

Hits the spot! – I love these to just have as a little treat, they are crunchy with the candy outside, milky chocolate & the peanut go together perfectly!! They are a great treat as the peanut gives you a bit more energy. The whole family loves them! Show details
Best candy once again 2019 – Melts in your mouth not in your hand. Well done to all who make this snack experience possible for me and my family. Love the experience, every time I enjoy the satisfying taste of M&MS peanut. Show details

Negative reviews
Has been my all time craving for decades, but today's version are just so beat up and ugly now. Looks like they just don't care anymore. So having said that, if this is the quality they are fine with, I can only imagine they are also cool with lowered quality of the ingredients, manufacturing, and God forbid, sanitation and handling.
M&Ms peanuts has changed to the point that they are not even close to their original self. The shell is not hard, the chocolate is emulsified and the peanuts are chalky. Show details
Peanut M&Ms were a favorite but they have drastically changed in taste. Someone has messed with the recipe and they are cheaply sweet and lacking flavor. I used to enjoy them with a glass of milk! These made today are terrible. You can keep’em and the price! Really?!

What happened!!! These are disgustingly stale with no taste and half a peanut! There is no freshness about these. What’s worse is the Best Buy date says this bag is good for another year! They are stale and awful now. This was my favorite candy. I tossed the bag and will never buy them again. This hurts me heart as this was my favorite candy since I was a little girl. This candy tastes cheap and old. Show details
In February I purchased two containers of this candy from Sam’s Club for a little more than $17 each. Because Sam’s Club is not in Washington. I then canceled my membership. The problem is that the company increased the thickness of the outer coating and decreased the amount of chocolate on the terrible tasting nut. I called the company and they… Read more
were supposed to send me an email that I could send them the information n the containers. I have not as of yet received this email. The other problem is that they will only replace$12 on an out $35 dollar purchase. Thank you this was my favorite candy for almost 85 years. For a multibillion dollar corporation I’m really disappointed
Texture flavour and taste strange nothing like what I've bought before – Agree with many on here somethings happened to peanut M&M's they tasted out of date texture very strange, I checked date in date. These were my favourite but either it's a bad batch or they've changed something for the worse Show details
SHRINKFLATION M&M 1/2 a nut in each M&M – Recently bought M&Ms peanut and discovered that most of the packet only had half a nut in each m&m!!! I’m pretty sure they used to use a whole nut for each m&m. Are M&M using Shrinkflation to deceive us? Have the nut counters been sitting around the table looking how to make more money without the consumer noticing!!!! Show details
Not pleasant – Going to have to agree with the other negative feedback It would have been better if read these reviews before. Used to be a reasonable snack now feels like similar to poisoning Definitely not worth it anymore quality assurance wise android taste is poor effort As well Show details
Awful. Just awful – What the hell happened to Peanut M&Ms? They constantly taste like they went bad now. The peanuts taste stale. The chocolate tastes like it's starting to bloom. They're crumbly. They're chalky. There isn't that creamy milk chocolate anymore when you chew them. Now it just feels like gritty rocky bits in your mouth. Not pleasant to eat. Show details
Peanut M&Ms - just don’t – Well I admit I eat too many lollies. Decades ago I had my first peanutM&M from a friend who brought from the USA. Amazing. Addicted. Fast forward. Awful, stale nuts, LESS nuts (which is actually a good thing less rancidity) Chocolate - well used to be. Coating - spit it out. After decades and Mars product shrinkflation im done. Hello Aldi Titan. Show details
Sadly disappointing – The chocolate in Peanut M&Ms is flavorless. Has been flavorless for over a year. This used to be my go-to treat. Not any more and that makes me sad. Show details
Disappointed 1/2 a peanut why – I had not bought peanut m&ms for a few months so you can understand my disappointment when I started eating them 90% are half peanuts The product has gone up in price and there is only half a peanut and some peanuts were so small Even on the front of the packet is a full peanut Some peanuts were so old they were hard to eat Show details

not happy – bought easter eggs m&m peanut looking forward to opening it on a movie night with my family all ready to eat my egg so started with the packet of peanuts to my horror they were horrible so spat them out on to a plate and they are green and black looks mouldy i would of posted a picture but it looks nasty m&ms should i be worried about my children eating your products now on Show details
Half a nut – Since when did M&M start using in 1/2 a bit in their peanut M&M? Very disappointing that this change has been made. An entire 180g bag all with 1/2 a nut in each candy. This really throws the balance off my one loved candy off. Even the picture does a full nut. Please change it back! Show details
Flavour has changed! – The peanut chocolate of old has gone. I thought initially I just had a bad batch but no. The only flavour I get is of sweetener. No delicious chocolate no delicious peanut. I don't taste peanut or chocolate! Why?! This used to be a no brainer when choosing a treat. Now its a firm no. Its been twenty minutes since eating and it leaves an after… Read more
taste like i have crunched on a low calorie sugar tablet. I will go to tesco and buy their branded chocolate peanuts, they used to be a back up now they will be first choice. What an absolute shame. Bye m & m it was a great relationship while it lasted, but you messed up BIG time and it's unforgivable.
Nasty, nasty – Bought a big bag of M&M peanuts and they were disgusting. They used to be my favourite candy. Nothing like they tasted before. I took the peanut out of its chocolate cover and it did not either looked or tasted like peanuts. Are they genetically modified peanuts? I have no idea what in the heck they use. I called the company and I asked… Read more
them and expressed my concerns. Their response…they don’t care. Well, I don’t either. I threw them away. Will NEVER purchase them again.
The chocolate has changed and it’s gross – My favourite snack before. I forgot the last time I got them they were weird. Why did I buy them again. The chocolate is foul like cheap old dollar shop chocolate with a pile of cocoa powder on top. Can’t even finish them. Do not get them. I will not be purchasing again. Show details
Horrible. Penut M&M's have changed. The chocolate tastes different (bad), and I don't think the nut, is a peanut – Read above. My lifelong favorite candy, stinks now. Wont be buying them anymore. Show details
Rotten peanuts – I can tell you over the past 3 years of me. Buying peanut m&ms which used to be my favorite. At least half of the large bags in 90% of the smaller bags have rotten peanuts inside their m&ms Show details
Changes are not welcome – Recent changes appear to be cost saving efforts, or serious supply chain problems. Both the shell and filling are less sweet, and some colors have an aftertaste that I personally don't care for. Returned 18 oz. bag to store not for refund but an alert that something has changed for the worse. Show details
