It&#8217;s often called the Superbowl of fashion since it&#8217;s the final awards show of the season, and it brings out the best in red carpet glamour. I always watch as much to see which films are awarded as I do to see the gorgeous gowns and red carpet hair and beauty trends.<br \/>\nLast year I watched the Oscars at a private viewing party; this year I&#8217;ll be watching at home with friends and family from the comfort of my luxurious living room. And we&#8217;ll be nibbling on some yummy treats: champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, red velvet mini cupcakes, popcorn and my favorite candy &#8211; M&#038;M&#8217;S!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-3.jpg\" alt=\"M&amp;Ms Oscars party\" width=\"700\" height=\"1100\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27306\" srcset=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-3.jpg 700w, http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-3-382x600.jpg 382w, http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-3-652x1024.jpg 652w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mms\" title=\"M&#038;M'S\" target=\"_blank\">M&#038;M&#8217;S<\/a> sent over three bags for me to sample just in time for the big event: Milk Chocolate: The classic, bite-sized M&#038;M&#8217;S\u00ae candy; M&#038;M&#8217;S Peanut and M&#038;M&#8217;S Crispy &#8211; back by popular demand! They&#8217;re the perfect candy for entertaining \u2013 plus, M&#038;M&#8217;S and movies go together perfectly and are an ideal match for enjoying an award show or movie-watching experience. My friends and family love to grab them by the handful. But for a party, I love to mix them with other things for a yummy treat! For the Academy Awards, I plan to make a quick and easy M&#038;M&#8217;s creation. All you need is a bag of kettlecorn popcorn, marshmallows and M&#038;Ms. (You can mix and match between varieties but I prefer to use the classic milk chocolate kind). First, pop a bag of popcorn. Let it cool a bit. Then, gently press a few M&#038;M candies into the marshmallows. Next, mix the M&#038;M covered marshmallows into a bowl with the popcorn and microwave for about 15-20 seconds. You should have a nice, sticky and gooey mixture. Finally, sprinkle a few M&#038;Ms of your choice on top and voila \u2013 you&#8217;re ready to party! With their colorful candy shells and delicious flavors, M&#038;M&#8217;S make any special occasion sweeter.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party.jpg\" alt=\"M&amp;Ms Oscars party\" width=\"700\" height=\"550\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27303\" srcset=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party.jpg 700w, http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-590x464.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-6.jpg\" alt=\"Oscars M&amp;Ms party\" width=\"700\" height=\"550\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27302\" srcset=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-6.jpg 700w, http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Oscars-MMs-party-6-590x464.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mms\" title=\"M&#038;M'S\" target=\"_blank\">M&#038;M&#8217;S<\/a>\u00ae is commemorating the biggest night in Hollywood by debuting a commercial on national TV that shows M&#038;M&#8217;S characters invading the movies.
