Fun Fact:
- Did you know that the two M's on your favorite candy stand for "Mars" and "Murrie"? That's right! Forrest Mars, the maker of M&M's, teamed up with the president of the Hershey's Company at the time William Murrie to start producing these colorful little delights. Mars ended up buying the company back in 1949 for one million dollars! Turns out the letter "M" stands for more than "mmmm", but maybe not when it comes to our Peanut M&M Bars.
