We unabashedly admit that we here at the SparkFun offices like candy. A lot. Plus, there is something about the holidays that just makes candy and sweets that much better. On any given day, you are likely to find a tray of cookies/candy/other deliciousness residing in our breakroom. But you better be quick - cookies disappear around here faster than a reel of fresh ATMegas.
With that in mind, check out what Lindsay from production and Dean from purchasing did! Yep, those are SparkFun M&Ms, outfitted with the flame and RTFM. We are pretty excited to have yet another tasty treat in-house, this time decked out in SparkFun garb. Now I better go get some before they are all gone...

Figured I'd post that for anyone wanting to do something similar. We've done it as fun give-aways where I work. 'sides, who can turn down chocolate? :)
Their site claimed delivery on or before the 24th. I placed my order!
So nice ! But we can't order outside US...
THATS AWESOME! I need some! When will you start selling them?
Are they RoHS compliant?
I hope! That bring back the question of the ink :D
Yup, the ink is RoHS Compliant. it's make out of gum acacia

Ah, you could keep them coming and put them in the swag area so we can keep our geek on!!!!!
Do Want!
I now want chocolate.
Site back up. Awesome.
Yeah, that was our bad. Everything should be good to go now!
Awesome! I love that even our snacks here at SFE are "on brand" haha :)
Technically the brown inside is not "on brand". But delicious.
If they did this with Reese's Pieces I'd be all up in it.
Hmmm --- it's probably best to not ask what the ink was made of. Ah, well. There couldn't be too much toxic stuff in the ink. Right?
Hello? Anyone there? ;-)
The ink is safe. it's make out of gum acacia

Nice, but it seems like we're missing the white M&Ms w/ the red SF logo? or vice versa?
Unfortunately, black ink was the only option :(
Oh well, still pretty sweet :-)
Only thing to say is this:
"OM NOM NOM NOM!"
I admit that when I received the "test sample" for the photos, they mysteriously disappeared before we could shoot them. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
o_0 Must eat!!! :9
