Peanut Butter ‘n’ Jelly Bars
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
YIELD: 2 dozen.
My two young sons are crazy about these simple, fast cookie bars. And as a busy mom, easy preparation makes this one scrumptious dessert I can rely on—even at the last minute. You might want to vary the jam or jelly to suit your own family’s tastes. —Carolyn Mulloy, Davison, Michigan
