Candy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Peanut (if using)

    If using peanuts, lightly toast them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Coat the Peanuts

    Once the chocolate is melted, dip each peanut into the chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let excess chocolate drip off.

  4. 4

    Add Candy Shell

    Place the chocolate-coated peanuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle candy shell coating on top while the chocolate is still warm.

  5. 5

    Add Color (if desired)

    If you want colored M&M's, you can mix a few drops of food coloring into the melted chocolate before coating the peanuts.

  6. 6

    Let Cool

    Allow the M&M's to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.

  7. 7

    Store

    Once cooled and hardened, store the M&M's in an airtight container at room temperature.
