New Mega M&M'S are on average 55 percent bigger than the originals and give chocolate lovers more chocolate and peanut in every bite.

Anything more would have been too big and anything less too small, which is why America's favorite M&M'S Brand Chocolate Candies is introducing a perfectly big treat made especially for adults. Mega M&M'S, a new version of the iconic color-coated candies, are on average 55 percent bigger in size than original M&M'S and come in six new hues that appeal to adults: maroon, teal, blue-gray, beige, gold and brown.

With new Mega M&M'S, chocolate lovers now get more of what they love -- more chocolate and more peanut in every bite. Following tremendous consumer demand for the limited-edition "Ogre-sized" M&M'S created in conjunction with last year's "Shrek 2" movie release, the brand is adding the bigger-sized candies to the permanent line.

"Mega M&M'S are a great example of how we continue to evolve one of America's favorite brands," said Martyn Wilks, vice president of Snackfoods at Masterfoods USA. "We listen to what our consumers want and continually work to deliver all the taste and fun associated with M&M'S in new and different ways, which keeps the brand fresh and relevant."

Mega M&M'S come in Milk Chocolate and Peanut varieties and feature a new look with eye-catching metallic packaging incorporating the bigger-size candies. Available in two sizes, 12.6 oz for $2.79 and 19.6 oz. for $4.15, Mega M&M'S are now offered at major retail stores nationwide.
