What do you mean I’m not suppose to mix M&M’s in with my Kashi Go Lean Ceral?! But it tasts better this way! Hmmmm… Maybe that’s why it’s not working. Oh, well… SIGH! [http://www.kashi.com](http://www.kashi.com) ---

Try dumping a bunch in freshly-popped popcorn. Yum. Especially good at the movies. I still have over 20 pounds of M&Ms left. I’ve been getting creative. ---

You know, after you’ve been on the trail for a while sometimes you need an extra boost to start you off in the morning for another day of chasing down strays, riding drag, chewing grass stalks and other offical cowboy on the trail stuff. Those are the days I like to start off with the energy breakfast. There’s nothing like heaping bowlful of m&ms drowned in chocolate milk and washed down with a tin cup of campfire coffee! Hell, you won’t even be able to blink your eyes till way after lunchtime. ---

We call this reindeer feed and set it out with Santa’s M&M cookies on Christmas Eve. But it’s a good casual party mix anytime. 1 Cup M & M’s 1 Cup Peanuts 1 Cup Raisins 1 Cup Chex Mix cereal 1 Cup Cheerios 2 Cups thin pretzel sticks Toss and munch! Maybe your RPGamers will donate some pretzels, raisins and peanuts in time for your next game **MrVisible.** ---

MrVisible, here’s another one to help you use up all those M&M candies: This “cookie jar” makes a colorful homemade gift for any occasion. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup "M&M’s"® Chocolate, divided 1/2 cup raisins 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1-1/4 C uncooked quick oats In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In 1-quart clear glass jar with tight-fitting resealable lid, layer flour mixture, walnuts, 1/2 cup "M&M’s"® Chocolate, raisins, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 cup "M&M’s"® Chocolate, and oats. Seal jar; wrap decoratively. Give as a gift with the following instruction: Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside. In large bowl beat 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks), butter, 1 large egg, and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until well blended. Stir in contents of jar until well blended. Roll into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 4 dozen cookies. And a link to M&M Network, [see what’s up with those green M&M’s](http://www.m-ms.com/) and more. ---

**AbbySthrnAccent** , both those recipes sound great. For myself, I love the combination of salt and sweet so I go for the classic bag of Fritos and M&Ms. ---

The lost time they added a new color (blue), they hd a vote for what color to add. Purple lost out to blue even though I was spearheading the Purple M&M campaign. ---

If there’s no leftover pizza in the fridge, I will frequently settle for M and M’s for breakfast. Drink a bit of Coke after, brush my teeth and it’s off to work in a zippy state of sugar intoxication. ---

M&Ms and Cherry Gummi Bears. I was watching an old episode of Drew Carey on Fox yesterday, and he had been up all night working on something for Buzz Beer. He said he was able to stay awake with help from “Daddy’s little helpers: reds, blues, greens…plain, peanut…” ---

Haha. I based my entire 7th grade science project around M&M’s, and my partner and I managed to go through a one pound bag per day or so. It was great. Also, why did they get rid of the tan ones? I know they made blue instead but I miss the tan ones…oh well. ---

I was astonished to find, in a little store in Frontierland, Disneyland, a kiosk for M&Ms ColorWorks. You could vend yourself a pound of purple Ms, a pound of pink ones, whatever color you wanted. Even black, white, and grey. [url=“[http://www.colorworks.com/](http://www.colorworks.com/)”]Also available online\*\* As a side note, they were priced at $9 a pound. Which means, at one point, I had $450 of M&Ms in my fridge. A scary thought. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/m-ms-and/76669.md?page=2)
