Umm, no? M&M’s are milk chocolate, so meh at best. Skittles must have something weird in them that disagrees with me, so I gave up on them long ago. Given the choice between them, I’ll pass on both.
American chocolates getting nastier and last year. But it used to be kind of fun to open a bag of Skittles and a bag of M&M’s and pour them into the same bowl and mix them
M&Ms, but I was told the outside covering is bad for you, so I don’t go out of my way to get them. It’s a shame, since they melt in your mouth, not your hand. When someone makes a kosher(?) outer casing, I will return.
I prefer M&M (especially the caramel ones ) over Skittles. But… the ultimate ones are those coconut milk chocolate covered candy pieces that I can’t think of their name.

Yes these look good. I especially like the serving suggestion of dropping them in the molten chocolate!
Oh, wait… Maybe they meant the 16 oz was a serving!

Major League difference.
One is Chocolate & the other is NOT!

@Cerridwyn S&Ms
@Cerridwyn
The price of cacao skyrocketed so companies started skimping. Many products barely pass as chocolate now.
Depends on the flavor of the M&Ms….
Peanut butter M&Ms? Yes!
Caramel M&Ms? Fuck yeah!!!

@cfg83 In Europe, the food colorings are not petrochemical-based.
@werehatrack Can I get French M&Ms, aka Liberté M&Ms?

Mounds? I bet you mean the round ones… Yummy
M&Ms with the peanuts!
Depends on the M&M flavour. Peanut butter, absolutely! Probably goes like this:
PB M&M
Peanut M&Ms
Regular Skittles
Sour Skittles
Wild berry Skittles
Other M&Ms
Tropical Skittles
Neither - this is my current favorite chocolate treat:

@macromeh I have to admit, that looks good!
@macromeh
So you’d pass on both given the option?

@chienfou
Definite pass on the Skittles
. I have been known to eat a few M&Ms on occasion (when good chocolate isn’t available
).
Does jolly old England have an English chocolate version of M&Ms?
You get at least a tiny bit of health benefits from chocolate, while Skittles are just pure sugar coated with pure sugar.
