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.

Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream (Vegan)

Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream.  This ice cream is made healthier, but it’s still also a little indulgent.  I used a frozen banana base and added some dark chocolate peanut butter cups to it.

I used Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups which are naturally vegan.  While they do contain a bit of sugar, they are far better than a Reese’s cup! Besides, we all need to indulge every once and a while.  It’s called balance.
