PBJ Crunch Bars image

If you are a fan of peanut butter and jelly, you will love these bars. I get a lot of requests for the recipe. I use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy can be substituted.

Time 1h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ¼ cups oats
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 sticks cold butter, thinly sliced
1 ½ cups warm peanut butter
1 ½ cups grape jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Stir the oats, flour, white sugar, brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Press about half of the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the peanut butter over the oat mixture. Stir the jelly to make it spreadable and swirl into the peanut butter. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the peanut butter and jelly layer; gently pat until it sticks together.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover jelly. I always have a jar of jelly in my fridge, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it up.

I've tried several different recipes for PBJ Crunch Bars, but this one is by far the best. The bars are always moist and chewy, and the peanut butter and jelly filling is the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
