M&M's Double Chocolate Cookie

M&M's Double Chocolate Cookies are a popular confectionery snack that combines a rich chocolate-based cookie with embedded M&M's milk chocolate candies. The brand traces its origins back to 1941 in the United States, inspired by a method used during the Spanish Civil War to allow soldiers to carry chocolate without it melting.

Today, M&M's is a flagship brand under Mars, Incorporated. While the brand originated in Newark, New Jersey, manufacturing has expanded globally to meet international demand. In the United Kingdom and Europe, these products are often manufactured in local facilities or specialized bakery partner plants, while North American supplies typically originate from facilities in the United States. Ownership remains with the Mars family, keeping the brand within one of the largest privately held food companies in the world.
