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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

Time 2h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.
