pb&j bars from the fat witch bakery
(3 ratings)
these bars capture the essence of America's favorite lunchtime sandwich. They are gooey and sticky with a hearty peanut crunch. Use the best jam you can find. The pieces of strawberry add irresistible pockets of sweetness. It's important to let these bars cool completely before cutting into them. They need plenty of time to set up. If you must have yours warm, reheat them in the microwave while pouring yourself a tall glass of milk or your favorite peanut butter and jelly pairing.
