Keep in mind, all of the ingredient amounts that you’ll need for these Valentine's Day M&Ms Cookies are in the printable recipe card below.

• Butter, Granulated sugar and milk
• Creamy peanut butter - Make sure to get a nice peanut butter that is smooth and creamy. While I do like the appeal of natural peanut butter that you have to mix up before using, that does NOT work well with this kind of recipe. 
• Pure Vanilla Extract - I've said it before and I will say it again...invest in a good quality vanilla extract! It really does make all of the difference in the flavor of your baked goods!
• Granola, large chunks crushed
• Old fashioned oats
• Mini chocolate chips - You can use white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, it is totally up to you!
• Valentine M&M candies - Keep in mind, if you want to make this No Bake Blonde Monster Cookie Recipe for another holiday - or just for fun anytime of the year, you can use any kind of M&Ms.
