Wait isn’t chocolate vegan though? Why substitute chocolate with palm oil?

    Cocoa is vegan. Chocolate is usually made with milk products to make it more palatable. The chocolate in peanut M&M’s has milk in it, so they are not vegan. Except these days milk is largely substituted with palm oil recipes, which is much cheaper, but creates a worse product (often described as waxy) while the industry producing it is tearing down virgin forests for farm land.
