Add to FavoritesM&M's are the best candy ever made! Whether plain or peanut, they are unique. But what is better, plain or peanut?
As I get older I get more of a sweet tooth. Maybe because my taste buds need more excitement? Who knows, but I do know I am in love with M&M peanuts. Oh, I have always loved them, since I was a kid all those years ago. But I would also eat plain M&M's as well. Not anymore baby, it is peanuts for me.
My wife and I both eat these balls of goodness, but I have to say I am more addicted to them. The outer candy coating, with it's sweet crunch is just fine, thank you. Then, breaking through the candy to the sweet, warm, chocolate. But wait...the fun is not over yet! The peanut awaits...
I must say, I have never had a bad peanut in an M&M candy. They have always been crunchy, tasty, and fresh-tasting. Sometimes, if I am really hungry I will eat 2 or 3 at a time.
Nothing curbs my hunger like these little devils, and I always feel satisfied. Maybe because I am getting good nutrition from the peanut. Unlike other candies, with just chocolate or candy, I don't feel as guilty eating M&M's? I don't know, but I do love them.
I'm not too fond of the calorie count, however. Just 4 of these babies are around 50 calories. Eat enough of them at one sitting and move to another belt buckle. But since I am addicted to them, it is quite difficult to stop eating them.
I used to just wolf them down without a care in the world. That was when I was young and had the metabolism of a blast furnace. Now, I just savor them one by one, knowing full well of the calories I am consuming, but not giving a dang about it. Take too much good out of life and why live I always say.
It's just another example of things you love to eat but are fattening or bad for you or whatever. I just have to shut out the voice in my head that sounds like some schoolmarm scolding me, and annihilate the guilt I feel.
Lately, when we go shopping we are buying the biggest bag they sell. I love the color yellow, I love the weight of the bag, I love the resealable feature of the bag, I love...I love...I love...and I haven't even tasted one yet. I'm not sick enough to break open the bag on the way home from the grocery store, but if I'm alone and hungry watch out.
Sometimes I open the bag, grab a few and stick them in my shirt pocket. My wife, when hungry, uses her antennae to come up to me and grab my nipple to get at the delectable goodies in my pocket. One time she grabbed my nipple in her lust to eat one, hence the name...nipples. But whatever you like to call them, M&M Peanuts are the best candy in the whole wide world. You can take that statement to the bank!

Plain
M&Ms are a wonderful thing. I used to eat them often until I became diabetic; no they were not the cause of my diabetes. They were great and I certainly had a favorite between plain and peanut. Plain or peanut; there can be only one.
As with all other chocolaty treats there is only one way to eat them. I repeat, there is only one way for to eat chocolaty treats. The only way to eat chocolate is plain. It matters not if the chocolate is M&M or other candy the chocolate must remain pure.
You must never corrupt the flavor of chocolate. There is nothing finer than chocolate for its own sake. Chocolate must be revered or you have no true love of the chocolate to begin with. Chocolate deserves to be worshiped. Worshiped I say!
Not enough people revere the chocolate. So, because they don't revere the chocolate they pollute it. They not only pollute the chocolate with peanuts but they insert all kinds of nonsense into the poor chocolate. Just open up one those boxes of chocolates that are tossed around without much thought at Christmas time. They are filled with all kinds of vile pollutants.
Pollutant s abound in what people refer to as chocolates. These, my friends, are not chocolates. I'm not entirely certain what they should be called but they must never be referred to as chocolate again. Chocolates must be pure if they are to be referred to as chocolates.
Over the centuries, chocolates have been quite the delicacy. At some point some misguided fool decided to add things to it. Whatever could have possessed that illiterate, deaf, dumb and blind person to add anything at all to the chocolate? There is no real good answer to that question; except to say that there must have been some mental deficiency on the part of that particular chocolate maker.
Peanuts are a great thing on their own and they have a place in the world. I love peanuts; in fact they are the only nut I like. I eat peanuts whenever possible but never, I repeat never with chocolate M&M candy pieces. The sugary coating on top of the chocolate is edible but no one should even consider eating M&Ms that have been contain those vile pollutants peanuts.
People need to get over this idea that peanuts belong in any kind of chocolate not to mention M&Ms. Actually, people need to get over the thought that peanuts belong in any thing related to chocolate. M&M candies are great but only if they are peanut free. Peanut free is the key but those who can't see will continue to eat from the peanut tree.
