These Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars are great for a grab and go breakfast or as a dessert. Either way, they are delicious! They layers all go together perfectly.
There is a giveaway involved so keep reading! Are you ready for Christmas? I am. I finally got the Christmas shopping done thanks, mostly, to Amazon. That Prime is a lifesaver! Well worth the yearly $99 for free 2 day shipping. Just saying. You can pretty much order anything you need on Amazon, like cookbooks. I love all the cookbooks! These Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars come from Gooseberry Patch‘s 303 ‘Round the Clock Recipes, which you can get on Amazon, of course. But I happen to have an extra copy of it to give away so yay!
It’s actually 3 cookbooks in one with a photo for every recipe! That’s the best part. There is everything from Breakfasts to Dessert and everything in between. Be sure to enter to win a copy after the recipe!
