It's technically both

 

[SkyOdin]

They are chocolates wrapped in a confectionery shell. Sometimes it is pointless to quibble over the categorization of food like this when more direct answers are available.

 

[gazele]

It's technically both

That's my point, yeah

 

[sixteen-bit]

I would classify them as chocolate.

 

[God Dayumm]

Is cake bread or icing?

 

[Ekai]

It's both and neither.

Chocolate in a candy shell

That's what it's made of, not what it is

chocolate is candy

Chocolate is candy, but not all candy is chocolate.

That's fair I suppose. But chocolate is so it's own category as far as social consumption goes. Kinda like ice cream

 

[SnakeXs]

If I asked someone to get me candy and they brought me M&Ms I'd be upset.

If I asked someone to get me chocolate and they brought me M&Ms I'd be cool with it.

I mean I would never ask for candy but my stance remains.

 

[Monocle]

Overlapping categories.

 

[itwasTuesday]

it says it on the bag in small text underneath M&M's logo

 

[Phobophile]

If I asked someone to get me chocolate and they brought me M&Ms I'd be cool with it.

I mean I would never ask for candy but my stance remains.

I would never be disappointed with a chocolate candy option.

Unless I wanted gummy bears and they bring back chocolate-covered gummy bears. So bad.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Wait, is chocolate not a form of candy?

 

[Hazmat]

To me "chocolate" is something that's all chocolate. M&Ms are candy that contain chocolate, like Kit-Kats and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

 

[Neo_Geo]

Chocolate candy. No spam topics, please.

 

[Poppy]

chocolate is only candy if you're in a checkout line, but they sell m&ms there so clearly they are both

 

[Nose Master]

There are other kinds of m&ms than chocolate. The only constant is the shell, which is a candy coating. Therefore, candy.

 

[BiggNife]

It's chocolate candy.

Chocolate is a form of candy.

According to the Hershey Company, chocolate is a type of candy. Furthermore, Dictionary.com defines candy as anything made with sugar or syrup.

I think OP made a thread instead of typing into Google.

 

[Poppy]

i put sugar in my tomato sauce, does that mean my spaghetti is candy coated?

 

[CS_Dan]

Are Reese's peanut butter cups peanut butter or chocolate?

I wouldn't call that shit chocolate

 

[BiggNife]

I think OP made a thread instead of typing into Google.

I think he wanted to start the kind of heated debate that occurs when people ask if a hot dog is a sandwich but I feel like this question is pretty cut and dry.

 

[Lostconfused]

Are Reese's peanut butter cups peanut butter or chocolate?

It's all candy.

You're not my mom

 

[Icyflamez96]

but not all candy is chocolate.

Does this really need to be said...

 

[The Albatross]

In the Americas, chocolate and candy are not mutually exclusive. If you spell color with a U and you are appalled by our use of the phrase "candy," then consider that not all sweets are sweet.

 

[Faiz]

Chocolate is candy yes, but an M&M is not, as a unit, Chocolate. It is candy.

M&M's are actually candy covered chocolate.
