M&M’s Is Giving Away Free 'Emergency' Candy Again This Halloween

Didn't buy enough for your trick-or-treaters? No worries.

We know that Halloween is the spookiest season of the year. After a month filled with watching your favorite Halloween movies and trying all the Halloween-specific menu items at your favorite fast food restaurant, it all culminates in a day that’s really just about the candy. So, there’s nothing scarier than running out of those sweet treats on October 31.

If you don’t want to play a candy-less trick on your trick-or-treaters this year, you have two options. One, stock up on candy now (we suggest buying in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco) and hope that it’s enough, or two, call in M&M’s Halloween Rescue Squad for backup.

That’s right, instead of designating someone to run to the store mid-Halloween night to see if there is candy left anywhere—or guiltily handing out the leftover apples from your fridge—M&M’s will save your Halloween by sending emergency candy your way.

How to Get Free Candy on Halloween

After a successful inaugural year in 2023, M&M's is bringing back its Halloween Rescue Squad to save people from what they're most anxious about on All Hallows Eve: running out of candy. Starting at 5 p.m. on October 31, if you run out of candy during trick-or-treating, M&M's will bring a new supply directly to your neighborhood—and all within 30 minutes of your emergency call.

The best part? The service and candy are completely free.

The Halloween Rescue Squad will work via GoPuff and deliver to participating locations of that service.

On Halloween, if you run out of candy, simply visit M&M’s Halloween Rescue Squad site and request more Mars candy to be delivered directly to you. M&M’s will take it from there and send a free candy delivery to you within 30 minutes (and while supplies last).

Additionally, this year M&M's is introducing Halloween Rescue BOOths in the cities that had the most rescue calls last year: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Westfield, New Jersey. From 5 to 8 p.m. in Westfield and 6 to 8 p.m. in Philadelphia, you can visit one of M&M's Rescue BOOths and receive a free, instant candy refill.

The location of the booths hasn't been announced yet, but keep an eye on M&M's site and social media for more information.

Should you want to buy your Mars candy now, you can visit M&M's rescue link through October 30 to stock up for the big night. There, you’ll find all your favorite Halloween candy, like the new Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Pie M&M's, Snickers, Twix, Skittles, and more, available to purchase ahead of your trick-or-treating festivities.

Thank you, M&M’s; we’re sure you just saved a lot of households from arguments and crying children who don’t have enough of the “good candy” to trade with their siblings.
