M&M's candies are candy-coated pieces of milk chocolate with the letter "m" printed on them, produced by Mars Candies Incorporated. Popular in the United States and many other countries, several variations of the candies exist, including plain milk chocolate M&M's, M&M's peanut, M&M's peanut butter, mint, M&M's dark chocolate (with and without peanuts), and M&M's Almond. Not all of these varieties are available worldwide however. First produced in 1941, the candies were originally manufactured in brown, yellow, red, green, and violet. Orange was introduced in 1976. Tan replaced violet in 1949. Blue replaced tan in 1995.[1] Others include white, cream, gold, maroon, dark pink, pink, light purple, light blue, dark blue, teal, aqua, electric green, dark green, black, silver, shimmer golden, shimmer platinum, and shimmer pearl. The "shimmer" colors have a pearlescent finish giving them a sparkling appearance.
