Peanut Butter Jelly Bars (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Peanut Butter Jelly Bars are where it’s at.  Your favorite childhood snack made into one tasty dessert bar.

This recipe came about because I accidentally contaminated a jar of jelly.  My youngest daughter is allergic to tree nuts and I used a spoon that had touched cashew butter in the jam. So I needed to use it up in a recipe.

I made these bars for my husband to take to work for snacks.
