Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

gringalicious (78) in food • 7 years ago

Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time……

Are you guys as ready for something yummy? At least tell me you’re ready for something super, killer, deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for the weekend to be over. Raspberry season is over, sadly but there are plenty of berries available because that's the beauty of living in the modern age.

I say when life gives you raspberries year round, make raspberry jelly! Then after making your yummy jelly make PB&J bars with it!

So these were initially going to be just plain pb&j bars. I think I’ve told you that I live with a few crazy people who don’t like peanut butter. Well, when I’m making something that I know is not generally liked by everyone I’ll usually make two different things. This time I happened to be making some chocolate chip cookies since I was already baking and I know the PB haters love their chocolate.

So there I was making these 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 (almost) the weekend. Live a little!

1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup peanuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup raspberry jelly

Those bars look amazing! Where I live peanut butter is crazy expensive but it isn't difficult to make and it's cheaper that way. Did you make the jelly yourself? I've tried to make jelly a couple of times but I've completely failed. Do you have any advice on it? Thanks for sharing this recipe!

gringalicious (78) · 7 years ago

Yeah, I did make that jelly. I'll have to check if I put that part of the recipe in or not. I try to keep the recipe as simple as possible. Too many ingredients or instructions and people lose interest. Maybe I'll make a separate post about the jelly, thanks for the inspiration @alemars16

Your photo-shoots are really amazing, what an interesting mix, never thought of putting peanut butter in a slice, used to make a Raspberry slice and a Coconut jam slice - might be an interesting one for the kids to try.
Oh Chocolate on bread is a thing here Nutalla.
