At least they don't melt in your hands.

2 and a half is a great age, but in reality all ages have been great (so far). My daughter looks at me and says "An M+M will make my boo-boo feel better." I can't resist, so we share a king size bag on the way home from the grocery store. Just a normal king size bag, not the three pounder. This summer I saw a bag of M+Ms with a handle!!!!! The problem with M+Ms is the bag is always gone before midnight, regardless of size. I suspect that you can buy M+Ms in forty pound bags somewhere, just like dog food. Check your local Sam's, Costco, BJ's and get back to me.
