Have you thought about.. I dunno.... going to Google (or some other search engine) and typing in "bulk M&M's"?

On to the topic at hand, I did find them in bulk, but I want them in a #10 can, not in a large box. I’ve bought them that way in the past but it’s been a number of years and I have been unable to locate them in this particular packaging, which is why I posted and asked a question. So if anyone knows where I can find them I would greatly appreciate it if you’d pass it on.

OP, I like the idea and have no doubt that you found them at one point. However am looking and can't find any current company that does this!
I'd recommend just getting the larger bags of m&m's and putting them in a smaller threaded top bucket. Or a different source. You may be able to find a local can night place that can do it for you too for a small price. Or hit the top of the canning tier and buy your own canner! Then sell them! |

Find some Mormon's in your area and see if they have a home canner you can borrow. Many local congregations (wards) have a canner for use by members, or the regional storehouses sometimes have a canner they loan out to members. Looks like they have a storehouse in the Nashville (Henderson) and Knoxville areas.
Buy your own M&M's or whatever hard candy you wish to can, buy the cans and lids, and you're set. |

Damn. Why didn't I think of this before. I need some #10 cans of M&Ms and some with Jelly Belly's.

It leaches out into the shell and they turn to a glob. Same for sour patch kids of any variety. Found out the hard way. oh well. I chose other things to store for snack stuff. Gummy bears as long as they stay cool work well. They will get harder and chewy but separate easily. I put the mini bags into a large bucket and they do fine. The Halloween sized micro bears store very well like that. |

Chocolate covered peanuts. They have several candies but no M&M equivalent. They are in cans sealed in an oxygen free nitrogen atmosphere. |

I know it means spending more money on equipment, but what about vacuum sealing M&Ms using a home food vacuum sealer?

Amazon and others have an adapter that lets you pull a vacumn on a canning jar. There are adapters for regular or wide mouth jars.
Mostly made for use with a vacumn sealer that has an accessory port but I have used a brand new hand operated brake bleeder vacumn pump I bought just for this purpose. Since it is pulling a vacumn I see no way for the brake bleeder to introduce anything to the canning jar. Have to keep the jars out of the light but you can store a lot of stuff in canning jars this way if you have shelves to hold them. |
