PB&J all the way!!!

Okay folks! I'm new to blogging, so if this comes out backwards, upside down, or totally does not make any sense, accept my apologies. I've tried four times to get this to upload. For some reason, my posts didn't combine (I'm still working on that aspect). I think I've figured it out.

These are my newest little creations I've made for my family to sample. So easy, tasty, and the little kiddies love them.

The ingredients are normal everyday items and are usually stocked in everyone's kitchen. Of course, I again ended up eating way too many of these little sweets. I always was a sucker for PB&J sandwiches. It seems some things never change. Only my waistline.


Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Total bake time: 30-35 minutes

CRUST
4 sticks of softened butter
1 cup of sugar
1/4 brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Mix all of the above together and press half of the mixture into two separate 8 x 8 pans which have been lined with foil and then sprayed with non-stick spray.

TOPPING
1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup of your favorite jelly (I've used strawberry and grape so far)

Melt each of these in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds until spreadable. I then spread half of the peanut butter on each crust, then spread over top of that half of the jelly on each.

Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes at 350 deg.

GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons of milk (Use the amount you like for your glaze. I like mine pretty thick and not runny)
1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Just mix with fork.

Apply the glaze when bars are slightly cool.

Cool bars completely. Lift foil out of pan. Cut into squares. EAT!!!!
