Are Peanuts M&M's High In Syns? - Our Guide!

If you are in the mood for something sweet you might be tempted to grab a bag of peanut M&M's, but how many syns does this chocolate have on the SW plan?

Peanut M&M's have around 6.5 syns for a 25g serving, making them high in syns, so should only be consumed in moderation as a sweet treat on the plan when your syns allow.

Down below we've put together a guide that will cover why peanut M&M's are high in syns, some syn values of their whole range, and a few alternative low syn chocolate covered peanuts to keep you on track.

Why Are Peanut M&M's So High In Syns?

At just 6.5 syns for 25g, peanut M&M's are very high in syns, taking up nearly half of your daily syn allowance for a small serving.

The syns in these sweet treats of course comes from their chocolate covered coating but also due to their peanuts on the inside. Peanuts are naturally dense in calories despite their small size, so the two combined give them a high calorie/syn content.

This doesn't mean you can't enjoy peanut M&M's in moderation however, just be sure to weigh out your serving size, especially when eating from a larger bag.
