Picture thousands of newly candy-coated chocolates spilling onto a conveyer equipped with tiny indentations, each the perfect cradle for a single M&M. As the conveyor shakes, the rainbow of naked candy shells settles in for a ride toward the printing press.
The printer's top roller is covered with the raised typeface of tiny M's, which are coated with edible white dye. But this roller doesn't print the M on the candy; it would crush the fragile shell. Instead it transfers the print of the M onto a second roller with a smooth surface. That roller passes over the centers of the speeding candies below and transfers still-wet imprint onto the shells with just the right amount of force- not so much it crushes the candy, but enough that the M comes off, legs intact.

Maybe if you watch Unwrapped on Food Network you'll find out. I'm not saying I did but maybe they have it on there.
