Categories     dessert

Time 2h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 sleeves (28 crackers) butter crackers
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam, lightly whisked to loosen

Steps:

  • Make the crust. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to overhang the edges of the pan. Spray again and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the crackers, brown sugar and butter until combined and it resembles wet sand. Remove and press into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the PB layer: In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar and butter in a bowl until smooth. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the bottom layer.
  • Add the jelly swirl. Drop about 9 dollops of the jam around the pan. Use a skewer or butter knife and drag it through the jam and peanut butter to make swirls.
  • Bake until set, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then remove from the pan and cut into bars the size of your choosing.

Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grape jelly

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil.
  • Beat together butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until combined. Mix in flour and salt at low speed until a dough forms.
  • Reserve 1 cup dough for topping. Press remaining dough evenly in bottom of baking pan. Spread jelly in an even layer on top of dough, then coarsely crumble reserved dough over jelly layer. Bake until top is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 45 minutes, then cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful crumble.
  • If you don't have peanut butter chips, you can use chopped peanuts or another type of nut.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking for at least 30 minutes. This will help the bars hold their shape.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Overbaking will dry out the bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter and Jelly Crumble Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple peanut butter and jelly filling, sandwiched between two layers of buttery crumble. The bars are then baked until golden brown and gooey.
