Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time…… Are you guys as happy it’s the weekend as I am? At least tell me you’re ready for something super killer deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for a weekday. Definitely a weekend treat. I’m also excited that it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend because I’ve been loving the pink theme on my Instagram. It’s a bit of a cliché holiday, I know, but I like to have fun with it. So, going along with the theme I had the inspiration for these cookie bars with raspberry jelly and peanut butter and chocolate. PB&J is maybe not the most romantic of flavors but I’m personally a sucker for comfort foods. Add in some chocolate and these are a treat that would win my heart. So these were initially going to be just plain pb&j bars but I was doing some other baking when I made these. There was chocolate sitting around because I happened to be making some chocolate chip cookies as well. While making the two things side by side and I realized that the chocolate was destined to be with PB&J. Like, I think I might start putting chocolate chips on sandwiches. Why is that not a thing, people? Okay, so maybe putting chocolate on sandwiches that are already pushing the line between lunch and dessert is a bit of a stretch, but I’m just gonna tell you that it’s really working on these bars. Oh, and before the chocolate happened I had already opted to add crunchy peanut butter over creamy and realized that these needed extra peanuts too. So what we’ve got here is a treat that will have you completely addicted with one nibble. I dare to just eat one. Hey, it’s the weekend. Live a little! If you're a fan of a classic pb&j then these just might become your new favorite treat.
