Notes

These cookie bars are a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day. They are full of M&Ms and smooth and creamy peanut butter. The best part is that they are easy to make!

I know that I have said before that I’m not brand loyal when I do my shopping.

There are a few instances when I feel like certain brands are worth it, whether they are on sale or not. This happens to be the case with Kerrygold Butter.

Kerrygold Butter is my favorite brand of butter and the ONLY brand of butter that I buy. I feel it is worth every penny that I pay.

I do think these would make great teachers’ gifts.

A lot of schools won’t allow you to send homemade treats for Valentine’s Day parties.

I found the CUTEST idea for Valentine’s treat from Tatertots and Jello. Love Potion #9 is a bottle of water along with a Kool-Aid packet. It’s SO cute and a very neat idea.

I hope you enjoy these Valentine peanut butter cookie bars. Trust me, they are very good.

Check out my Mickey Mouse Valentine Cookies, they would make a great gift idea too.
