The question implies that the element is solid at room temperature (call it 23oC) but liquid at body temperature (37oC).

Caesium (mp 28.44oC) and gallium (mp 29.76oC) both fit this criterion.

Francium (mp unknown, probably around 25oC) most likely would as well, if it were possible to obtain a chunk of francium large enough to see without it vaporizing itself from radioactive decay.

Rubidium (mp 39.31oC) just misses.

Of all of these, the only one that's not insanely dangerous to touch with your bare hands is gallium. Caesium and rubidium are highly reactive and would either catch fire or eat a hole in your hand (or both); francium would catch fire and give you radiation sickness.

Why do m and ms melt in you mouth and not in your hands?

It has to do with saliva. The main reason, though, is that the temperature of your mouth is hotter than the temperature of your hands, and the melting point of mnms is between those. You can test this by putting an mnm in your hand and closing it, making it heat up and melt in your hand. TY for the update on my answer Pengwer1800!!
