Halloween-Inspired Candy Mixes

The M&M's Mad Scientist Mix Has Three Fan-Favorite Flavors Collide

Milk chocolate, peanut butter and peanut are the three fan-favorite flavors that are mashed up in the M&M's Mad Scientist Mix created for this Halloween season. This new treat from Mars is being introduced in eight-ounce bags that will make a beloved trio easily accessible from one convenient bag. The orange, purple and green candies with a chocolatey hard shell promise to delight fans of the tried-and-true pairing in a spooky new way.

These Halloween confections are ready to eat on their own, straight out of the bag, poured into a seasonal candy dish or used as an ingredient in any Halloween recipe.

This new M&M's treat bag is launching alongside other new products from Mars brands Snickers and Twix.
