Curious why M&Ms don’t melt in the cookies—what’s the deal?

[Ruth_]

I’ve noticed that M&Ms don’t melt inside cookies like other chocolates. Does anyone know why? I’m really curious about the science behind it!

M&Ms have a super strong candy shell that protects the chocolate inside from melting in the oven. It's like tiny little superheroes!

Oh, it’s because M&Ms have a hard candy shell that keeps them from melting, unlike regular chocolate! Thanks for pointing that out!
