83 Words1 Pages
Forrest Mars was in Spain during the Civil War there and he saw soldiers eating chocolate pellets called Smarties, which had a hard shell of tempered chocolate surrounding an inner piece of chocolate. He created his own copy and called them M&M’s. These candies were especially practical for military rations as they withstood extreme temperatures.

The two "Ms" represent the names of Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate 's president William F. R. Murrie
