Are all 24 colors available for custom printing?

We love ALL the colors. But do you know what we love even more? Good quality and your satisfaction. So, to make sure the printing shows up and the quality on your customized M&M'S is great, you can personalize 19 out of our 24 colors, (aqua, blue, cream, dark green, dark pink, electric green, dark yellow, green, light blue, light purple, pearl, platinum, light pink, orange, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow).

Inclusion is the name of our game so feel free to include the other five colors in your mix (black, dark blue, maroon, purple & brown). They can be blended with your order but cannot be personalized.

Can I make modifications to an order I recently placed?

Once confirmed and placed through our website, your personalized order is immediately sent to our M&M'S Workshop and we begin the transfer of your creative ideas onto the candy. We worked hard to create our process which delivers high quality, and fast. Because of this, we can't accept cancellations or changes to personalized orders once the order is finalized. Once the submit button is clicked on personalized orders, we are afraid there is no turning back. We are sorry if this creates any problems. On the bright side, it isn't an engraved piece of jewelry or embroidered clothing. M&M'S are edible so we hope you can still enjoy them.

Can I cancel my order?

We are sorry, we can't cancel personalized M&M'S orders. Once confirmed and placed through our website, your personalized order is immediately sent to our M&M'S Workshop and we begin the transfer of your creative ideas onto the candy. Whatever your change of circumstances, we hope that someone will be able to enjoy your M&M'S!

Can I order customized peanut or dark chocolate M&M'S?

Currently, our magic candy printing machine only works on M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies. You can order Peanut M&M'S and other fun flavors on our website.

Can I print individual message(s) or image(s) by bag or color?

Our magic candy printing machine doesn't know how to discriminate one color from another. So, when printing messages on M&M'S Chocolate candies, we evenly distribute the messages or graphics throughout all of the colors within your order. You can't specify that one message or graphic remain on one color only.

We can print one message per color if you enter separate orders with one message and one color per order. Each separate order will require a minimum purchase per order.

Is there an "m" on the product?

Yes, there is always an "m" on one side of each piece of candy. Consider the "m" our stamp of quality, a promise of deliciousness, and an invitation for everyone to have some fun. It's what sets us apart.

What color is the custom printing text?

Custom printed messages, faces, & logos are printed in black ink and the "m" is printed in light gray. We're going to let you in on a secret. The two different sides are printed with two different magic candy printing machines and each has it's own unique edible ink.

Can I place my order now and have it shipped at a future date?

We only deliver bad news when we can follow with good news. Unfortunately, we do not offer future delivery dates. We've developed an extremely streamlined and efficient production process, which enables us to deliver a lot of candy to a lot of people. In order to stick to our delivery promises, we will deliver your product at the estimated time shown on our website when you place your order.

Ready for the good news? M&M'S Chocolate Candies will last for nearly a year so you can order now and save your personalized creation for a future event. However, always refer to the Best Before Date on your specific package to ensure it is consumed at peak quality. Simply remove the candies from their original box, keep them in their sealed bag, store them at room temperature (between 65–75°F, do not refrigerate), and keep them out of direct sunlight.

Can I print anything on the candies?

You can print ALMOST anything on your candy. Because M&M'S delivers fun for all, we have a few guardrails to be sure we don't leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth.

Each candy can be printed with up to 2 lines of text with a maximum of 9 characters per line. You can print up to 4 different messages in the same order for the same cost. A few rules to keep it fun and tasteful:

  • - Please don't use objectionable words and phrases. No obscenities or inappropriate images.
  • - Custom Printed M&M'S are for personal use only. That means no images or names that belong to a business, product, celebrity, specific sports teams, major events, landmarks, or schools or institutions.
  • - We take great pride in the history of M&M'S products, so the only single letter we print on our candy is the letter "m".
  • - To avoid any confusion and keep everyone safe, we will not print any reference to drugs or prescription items, especially those that are in pill or capsule form.

Each order is reviewed after submission and an email will be sent back to you if one or more of the rules are not followed and you will be asked to update your order. If you do not update your order, it will be delayed, and ultimately canceled if there is no response.

Do you provide donations?

Each year, we make substantial contributions through Mars Retail Group to a number of charities and non-profit organizations. We are proud of our efforts to give back to our communities, and feel confident these efforts benefit a broad spectrum of worthy charities and activities. While we appreciate the opportunity to participate in specific fundraising efforts, Mars Retail Group does not accept direct donation requests.

I'm planning an event. Can I see samples?

While we wish we could provide samples, our magic candy printing machine and personalization process is designed to provide custom M&M'S at an affordable cost so everyone can enjoy them. Because of the time-consuming customization processes, we cannot send samples. When we have to say "no," we like to deliver ideas and solutions! Our minimum personalized order is 2 pounds of bulk candy. Some customers order the smallest batch of their creation to test before placing larger orders for events or gifts.

How should I store my candies until my event?

M&M'S can be stored in the shipping container until you deliver them to a lucky recipient, serve them at a party, or eat them yourself! M&M'S don't love extreme temperatures or refrigerators. Ideally, store them between 65 and 75 degrees F.

Can I order customized peanut or dark chocolate M&M'S?

Currently, our magic candy printing machine only works on M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies. You can order Peanut M&M'S and other fun flavors on our website. Keep an eye out for new additions and since we are always looking for new ways to deliver "WOW' experiences, we'll keep you posted on any new customization options in the future. Peruse all our flavors here and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to hear about new products here.

Can I bake with my personalized M&M’S?

Customized M&M'S don't like the heat of the oven. We don't recommend baking with them as it will distort or erase your personalized message or designs. However, you can use them for decoration on baked and cooled cookies or cakes. They also love to be mixed into popcorn or snack mixes. Follow us on Pinterest and Instagram or Like us on Facebook for ideas.

When do you charge my card?

M&M'S charges your credit card when your order is shipped. However, at the time you place your order and enter your credit card, we pre-authorize for the amount of the items you’ve ordered plus applicable shipping fees and sales tax with your credit or debit card issuer. This may have an impact on your account balance. If you need additonal information on card authorizations and charges, call the customer service phone number on the back of your card. We are more chocolate experts, they are more money people.

What is a pending hold?

When your account indicates there is a pending hold on a transaction, the transaction has been preauthorized for a certain amount that was submitted to the bank by M&M’S for the order you have placed. This hold will be released as payment to M&M’S as soon as the order is shipped.

Can I use a debit card?

Yes, we accept debit cards as a form of payment. However, please note that we authorize debit cards and credit cards at the point of sale but we do not charge your card until your order has shipped. This can be mistaken for double billing and may impact your available balance. Each financial institution is different. Please refer to the issuing bank of your debit card for their specific authorization processes. We are more chocolate experts, they are more money people.

Do you accept Gift Cards as payment?

We currently do not accept gift cards as a form of payment.

PayPal customers: please note, if any changes are made to your order such as shipping information, we are unable to reauthorize your payment so we will require a new form of payment such as a credit/debit card.

Why isn’t my order going through?

For starters, double check that the billing address that you entered matches the billing address for the credit or debit card that you’re using. To protect you and our customers, we partner with banks for address verification and if they don’t match exactly, the card may not be authorized for payment. If the billing addresses match and you are still having issues, please text or call our Customer Care Team at 1-888-696-6788, Mon - Fri, 9am - 5:30pm, ET.

I'm planning an event, and need to send my product there – can I reship it?

We are sort of crazy about quality. So, we take great care in packing and shipping M&M'S and don't recommend reshipping them. You can always choose a different shipping destination at checkout and can have your order delivered at the location of your event. Be sure to make arrangements with someone at the venue so that your M&M'S are stored safely!

How are my candies shipped?

We are pretty crazy about quality and our shipping department works hard to make sure your M&M'S are delivered to you in perfect condition.

M&M'S don't love extreme heat so during the summer months, all orders are shipped using an expedited delivery method at no additional cost to you. Throughout the rest of the year, we utilize the professionals at FedEx™ to ensure your order will be delivered on or before your delivery date and with the utmost care.

To best protect your tasty morsels, all orders are shipped in insulated boxes, and specific packaging procedures are used based on seasons and delivery locations. We will add a reusable freezer pack in warm weather to keep your candy safe.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the perishability of our products, we do not ship over the weekends or for arrival on Mondays. Depending on the area FedEx may be able to deliver on a Saturday. Please contact FedEx to verify availability of Saturday delivery in your area.

How will I know when the product ships?

Thanks to super fancy technology, we can track your M&M'S every step of the way, counting down the days until you hold them in your hands!

Login and click on "My Account" and then "View Order History" to receive updates regarding your order. You can also expect emails throughout the process with updates, such as a shipping confirmation with the tracking number.

If you like connecting with people more than comptuers, call Customer Service at 1-888-696-6788, Mon - Fri, 9am - 5:30pm, ET for help.

Why do some candy items take longer to ship?

Unique M&M'S and party favors customized by you and created by our magic candy printing machine take a bit longer to produce than other products. If you are in a rush, consider Express Shipping. You can view approximate delivery dates and cost for both Standcard and Express Shipping by checking the delivery time stated at checkout when you choose your shipping preference.

Do you offer an Expedite Service option if I need my order sooner?

Express Shipping is available on most of our products (except logo orders) within the U.S. for an additional fee (excluding Hawaii & Alaska).

For an additional $20.00 charge, Express Delivery orders placed before 3pm ET from Monday through Thursday will be pushed to the front of the line for delivery in one to two business days. Express Delivery orders placed after 3pm ET will be processed on the next business day.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the perishability of our products, we do not ship over the weekends or for arrival on Mondays. Depending on the area FedEx may be able to deliver on a Saturday. Please contact FedEx to verify availability of Saturday delivery in your area.

All orders are shipped in insulated boxes, and specific packaging procedures are used based on seasons and ship-to locations.

Can I modify my expedite order?

We are sorry, we can't cancel or modify personalized M&M's orders. To ensure that we meet your delivery request, your order is immediately moved to a processing status and work begins. This process ensures we meet the quality service and standards you expect from M&M'S. Because of our speedy process, cancellations and modifications are not accepted once your order is submitted. Whatever your change of circumstances, we hope that someone will be able to enjoy your M&M'S!

Can I ship my order to an APO, FPO or PO Box?

Unfortunately, we currently do not have the ability to send your custom M&M'S to any APO, FPO or PO Box. This in no way reflects our feelings towards the women and men who serve our country. Current regulations prevent non-government parcel services from delivering packages directly to APO's and FPO's. We are continuously trying to improve our service and quality; we are working with our business partner to overcome this challenge, as FedEx™ currently does not ship directly to APO's, FPO's or PO boxes. If you would like to discuss this further call or text our Customer Service team at 1-888-696-6788, Mon - Fri, 9am - 5:30pm, ET for help.

Can I print a business logo or symbol?

Yes! We'd love to showcase your brand on our candy. Though we're all about the fun, we can also be "all business" when needed. Click over to the business section of our website, where you can upload your business logo to be placed on your customized M&M'S.
