This article is all about M&M’s, including the weights of various portions and pack sizes and calories per portion and type.
I’ve done the research and weighing to ensure accuracy, read on to find the information and figures you need for your query.
How Much Does a Peanut M&M Weigh?
Peanut M&M weights vary more than the chocolate version which is due to the varying size of peanuts, being a natural product.
The average weight of an individual peanut M&M is 2.4g/0.08oz, but each M&M varies in weight from around 1.5g/0.05oz to 3.5g/0.12oz.
How Much Does a Chocolate M&M Weigh?
When I weighed chocolate M&M’s I found that when compared to the peanut version they were very similar in weight making it easier to calculate portion sizes and calories.
An individual M&M weighs an average of 0.9g/0.03oz in total.
How Much Does a Crispy M&M Weigh
Like the peanut M&M the crispy version varies slightly in weigh throughout the pack.
The average weight of an individual Crispy M&M is 1g/0.04oz.
