FRESH STRAWBERRY BARS
The rich peanut butter base can be made ahead and frozen. For individual servings, cut the base in portions and freeze. Pull a portion from the freezer, thaw, and top with jam and berries for a last minute dessert. I found this recipe in Better Homes And Garden magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to use All Natural peanut butter, Splenda brown sugar substitute, Splenda sugar blend, and sugar free strawberry jam.
