Here are the ingredients you need to gather to get started making this No Bake Monster Cookies!
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.

I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook!
Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
