I can honestly say if I had to choose my last meal on earth, it would probably be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Peanut butter on both sides and grape or raspberry jelly. My mouth is watering just thinking of it. Yes I am weird and I love kid food :). It is no surprise that when I came across this recipe, it flew to the top of my must make dessert list. I loved eating pb&j for dessert, savoring every single bite, it tasted so much like my favorite lunchtime treat (except with more butter...and sugar).
Ingredients
2 sticks, unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups creamy peanut butter (not all natural refrigerator kind)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups of jam (I used strawberry)
1. Cream butter and sugar together
2. Add vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until combined
3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix until combined
5. Spread about 2/3 of the dough into a full sized greased baking dish
6. Spread jam evenly over the dough
7. Top with remaining 1/3 dough (in chunks, doesn't have to cover it completely)
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45min
Enjoy!

I'm a major PBJ fan. Sadly it's one of my fav things to eat for dinner! so I know I'd love these.
Oh, my goodness. I think this is a dessert I could actually make! And then I can take it to my best friend's house (who is an amazing cook) and be all "What? These things? I've been making them for years..." ;o) She probably won't buy it, but it's worth a try.
Love your blog!
Oh my, these look divine! I'm a big pb&j lover too. :)
Yummy!!!!!!! I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (i know, like a child haha) so this needs to definitley be made :)
Those look so yummy! I am a huge PB fan..will definitely give them a try.
YUM. Anything peanut butter is all right by me!
Ok so I made these last night and they were good but REALLY rich. I would probably make some variations to the recipe like less peanut butter and maybe use a baking sheet instead of 9X13 so they arent so big.
I love your blog and you and your husband are adorable!
