Just in time for Halloween, M&Ms is available in glow-in-the dark trick-or-treat-packs!
Looking for a way to light up the faces of your trick-or-treaters this year? How about giving out M&Ms in glow-in-the-dark packs? M&Ms has released their regular milk chocolate and their peanut milk chocolate M&Ms candies in these special trick-or-treat-ready fun size packages just in time for Halloween. Each pack takes on a fun and ghoulish glow when you dim the lights.
To get the glow-in-the-dark packs to glow, simply place them under a bright light for two minutes. Then turn off the lights…and see your favorite candy in a whole new eerie light! For trick-or-treating, we recommend keeping a bowl of the glow-in-the-dark packs close to a bright light source. For example, you can place the bowl on a table beside a reading lamp. Or you can place the bowl directly under an overhead light. That way your trick-or-treaters will see the bags glowing as soon as they head off into the dark and spooky night.
Where to find these Halloween treats
They’re available wherever candy is sold, with a manufacturer suggested retail price of $5.49 per 17-ounce bag. We found them in a somewhat larger configuration on Amazon:
This recipe combines several favorite flavors—peanut butter, butterscotch and chocolate—in one big cookie. Before baking, I like to press a few extra M&M's on top for added color. —Patricia Schroedl, Jefferson, Wisconsin
I have been seeing "surprise inside cookies" for a few years and really wanted to come up with my own version. After a little brainstorming, I came up with the idea of making Santa's belly cookies and filling them with miniature cookies. These are so much fun to give as gifts—just wrap in colored cellophane and tie with a festive ribbon. You can exchange the mini cookies for candy or anything you'd like; if desired, you can color the cookie dough red, too. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado
