One of our favorite ways to be together as a family is for movie nights and to watch award shows.
I always make something special for each movie or show and this years Oscar’s show is going to be all about M&M’s. These are a family favorite that Pete and I have been enjoying since we were first married! I usually make then right at the beginning of the show and we snack on them the entire show or movie.
This years shakes will feature M&M’S Crispy! I was so excited to see that they are now back by popular demand, returning just last month. M&M’s Crispy feature a delectable, crispy center covered in rich, creamy milk chocolate, enclosed in a colorful candy shell. This crispy and delicious treat comes in a new, eye-catching, bright green bag. Yummy!
A super easy shake that will make you feel like a winner even if you don’t win an Oscar.
I make the shakes three different ways. With the classic M&M’S® Milk Chocolate candies, M&M’S Crispy and M&M’S Peanut. They all are amazing… here is how you can make your own Award Winning M&M Shake for Oscar night or family movie nights!
Ingredients for Cookies & Chocolate shake:
- 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
- 2 tbs. of M&M’S Crispy- ground up or hand smashed. (You can sway The classic M&M’S® Milk Chocolate candies for a traditional shake)
- 1/2 cup of milk.
- Whipped cream for topping.
Ingredients for Chocolate & Peanut Shake:
- 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream.
- 3 tablespoons of M&M’S Peanut ground up (Did you know that M&M’S® is passionate about quality peanuts – Only 1 in 100 peanuts is lucky enough to find its way into a bag of M&M’S® Peanut.)
- 1/2 cup of milk
- Whipped cream for topping
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth.
- Pour in a chilled glass.
- Top with whipped cream and M&M’s.
- Enjoy!
M&M’S® is commemorating the biggest night in Hollywood by debuting a commercial on national TV that shows M&M’S characters invading the movies.

I’ve always loved M&Ms ever since I was a child. Add that to ice cream for a shake effect – LOVE. I’m totally on board with Oscar night ant this shake!!!
That looks so good. The only thing better than a milkshake is an M&M milkshake. Yum!
That sounds awesome. I am sure my kids would love it if I made them each one of those.
Love your ideas! Made me hungry lol my husband works for Mars – they make M&M’s so we always have a nice stash around our house.
That looks super yummy. Looks like a fun night!
That looks amazing and even though it’s cold and miserable out, I would drink it right now. Anything is better with m&m’s.
I love making shakes at home. Such a tasty treat.
I won’t be watching the Oscars but I will be trying this shake! I never heard of crunchy M&M’s–where have I been? Now I have to go out and try to find them–I do love M&M’s!!
You’ve combined two of my favourite things – milkshakes and M&M’s. What’s not to love?? I need to track down the crispy M&M’s. I remember them from way back – so yummy!
What a yummy shake idea To make and emjoy during Oscar night. But then M&Ms are great to enjoy anytime.

I don’t eat dairy and I don’t remember the last time I had M & M’s but this looks delicious!
Oh those sounds so good and I love M&M’s! Now I just need it to warm up so I can make these!
Well, there goes my diet! This looks amazing!
I have a sweet tooth today and some M&Ms would really hit the spot. I don’t feel like going out in the snow to get them though. 🙂
An M & M shake sounds so yummy, I would really love to try it myself!
That really does sound perfect for the Oscars. Who doesn’t love M&Ms?
I love that this uses the Crispy M&Ms. They are some of my favorite.

I love the idea of adding M&Ms to a milkshake like this!!! This would be the perfect treat for watching a show or movie.
These shakes look so delicious. I will have to try the Cookies & Chocolate shake first. I like to watch the Oscars red carpet show.
This sounds perfect for our movie nights!
What a great idea! I’d never thought to put m&m’s in a milk shake, but it looks so delicious!
What an amazing idea! My kids would be jumping seeing this. M&M is truly the best chocolate for kids.
Mmm that looks so delicious! I haven’t had M&M’s in a long time. I have got to make one of these.

The perfect movie theater snack! I wish my theater would make shakes for guests! I would love to make this one
I haven’t had a milkshake in so long. I love M&Ms, so this one looks delicious.
We love M & Ms in our home so I bet my kids would love to try this shake. I would make mine with soy milk as I’m lactose sensitive.

I haven’t tried the Crispy M&M’s , but I think I’ll stick with plain or peanut. 🙂 The shake sure looks thick and good!
