- Add the chips, nuts, and candy (except the peanut butter M&Ms) and stir well.
- Drop 2 tbsp of dough for each cookie on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving some space between, as they will spread while baking. Place a peanut butter M&M on top of each cookie and gently flatten to half the size.

Notes
**Substitution Ideas:
• Peanut butter chips ~ substitute semi-sweet allergy-friendly chocolate chips for peanut & dairy-free.
• Chopped mini peanut butter cups ~ Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are dairy & gluten-free. For peanut-free, substitute with sunflower seed butter cups
Corn-free baking powder
• Cocktail peanuts ~ optional
• Peanut butter M&Ms ~ omit for peanut-free
I’ve also substituted chopped toffee for peanut butter cups. I sprinkle the chopped toffee on top of each cookie before baking; it’s a delicious option. All the candies I list in this recipe are gluten-free but not dairy or egg-free.
