I've seen these all over the web for relatively cheap. We originally wanted to do a candy bar but once I started pricing it out, I was quite surprised by just how much it would cost. Indeed, it would be AWESOME -- but we're on a budget. Instead I thought about being these little containers with personalized M&M's or something along those lines.
Has anyone used these little containers? It says theyre 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 .... I'm trying to figure out how many M&Ms roughly would fit into each.
If no one has done this, no worries... Just trying to save myself the step of ordering a sample and investigating on my own

The M&MS are nearly $20 per pound in most instances

We were at a wedding last night and they had those mini chinese take out boxes with m&ms in their colors... they weren't all the way filled but were a good sized handful. They put two hershey's kisses on top of the m&ms which I thought was cute.
IMO, favors are overrated anyway. I always forget mine and then feel guilty because you can tell how much work goes into them.
I was thinking of this at one time. I was going to buy a regular bag of m&ms and see how much it weighs, then see how many (like half the bag? A third of the bag?) you would want for each favor. Then you can see how many favors of that amount 10lbs would cover. I know you don't have the actual jars, but you could get an idea at least. Good luck!
