M&M's Salted Caramel confectionery

M&M's Salted Caramel is a popular variety of the world-renowned chocolate-covered candies. Originally launched by Forrest Mars Sr. in the 1940s, the brand was inspired by a ration provided to soldiers during the Spanish Civil War. The Salted Caramel variation offers a modern twist on the classic design, featuring a chewy caramel center flavored with a hint of salt, encased in a signature milk chocolate layer and a colorful crisp candy shell.

The global production of M&M's is distributed across several facilities to meet international demand. Major manufacturing hubs include facilities in the United States, France (Haguenau), and Poland. The brand is under the ultimate ownership of Mars, Incorporated, one of the largest privately-held food companies in the world. Mars manages a vast portfolio of confectionery and pet care brands from its headquarters in McLean, Virginia.
