Directions
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars, Courtesy Ina Garten. These are really great and easy to make. The only time consuming part is waiting for them to cool. Barefoot Contessa has done it again., I saw Martha Stewart on the Today Show and she was recommending baked goods to send to college students and this was the recipe. Since I was looking for something for my kids I thought I would try. Let me say how yummy these were. Next time I will probably bake them a little longer because the center should have baked more. The only change I made was chunky peanut butter because I had it on hand so I didn’t add the chopped nuts. Next time I am going to try some of the other suggestions of chocolate chips. Thanks so glad I found this!, I copied a version of this recipe out of Bon Apetit a few weeks ago, but they’re pretty darn similar. Wow, what great bars. I cut way back on the butter used 2 tablespoons as there’s plenty of fat in the peanut butter already, and they are still just delicious. I also used grape jam, and since my peanut butter was crunchy I had no need of the sprinkled peanuts. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed these. Everyone was a little unimpressed when I said what they were, but the first bite got a great reaction from each person. I’ll definitely keep this recipe. Thanks.
