Well, check this out!

The idea of this candy comes from the Spanish Civil War, when the founder's son of the Mars Company, Forrest Mars Sr., was in Spain. During that time, the snacks of the soldiers are pellet size snacks coated with sugar. For Mars, he thought this was very clever. Upon his return to the U.S, Mars wants to create something similar from the soldiers' snacks. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the famous M&M's were created.

M&M's were first sold to the public in 1941, during World War II. The soldiers during the Spanish Civil War has their snacks placed in a long tube. In Mar's creation, a cardboard tube was used to sell the candies to the public. In 1948, changes in packaging occurred - from a cardboard tube to a small brown pouch. 'Milk chocolate melts in your mouth, not in your hands' is the candy's slogan. M&M's vary in color and became a major hit to the public in 1954. But did you know that red M&M's were once removed? This is because of the red coloring dye. However, in 1987, because of red M&M's popularity and the public demand, it was added back.

In 1997, these candies became even more fun! Different personalities of the colors that are now loved by everyone were introduced. The 'green' M&M is a female while the rest are males who are in love with the green ones.

M&M's are one of the top chocolate candies in the world. With the M&M's, this Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge is surely hard to resist!
