As a subject matter expert in the history of confectionery, I can tell you that the M&M's candy was invented by Forest Mars Sr. in collaboration with Bruce Murrie of the Hershey's chocolate company. The name M&M comes from the initials of the last names of these two men, Mars and Murrie. The candy-coated chocolate invention was first made during the Spanish Civil War and later introduced to the U.S. market in 1941.

M&M's were first introduced commercially in 1941 by Forrest Mars, Sr. Forrest got the idea for the candy after observing soldiers eating chocolate pellets with a hard shell during the Spanish Civil War. The candy was made with a hard shell so that soldiers could carry the chocolate during warm weather.
