I have some awesome news for all of you gamers out there. M&M’s is one of our favorite snacks so I am super excited to be sharing with my readers all about the Gaming with M Pixel Art Contest. So what is this all about? M&M’s is giving you a chance to win an Xbox One price package that includes an Xbox One, Forza and a package of M&M’s. The prize pack has an proximate retail value of $600! And all you have to do is play with your food. Yes get creative and use M&M’s to make some 8 bit sprite art and then share it on Instagram, it’s that simple.
At home we created some 8 bit candy sprites ourselves. This was so much fun and the kids also joined in to help us make them. We did have a bit of an issue with the materials as we kept running out of M&M’s, good thing I had bought some extra bags on my last trip to Walmart so we where able to finish all of our designs and where able to enjoy the M&M’s while we worked on them.
We started off with the classics and made a Pac-Man, then we created a cute Q*bert and finally we created a Mega Man. I can’t wait to see all the fun sprites everyone will be making for this contest!

this is very cute, i like how you can make the chocolate into something fascinating.
People are actually able to enter this, I figured they would eat the candy before being able to make anything with it. This would be a fun contest.
