Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time……

Are you guys as ready for something yummy? At least tell me you’re ready for something super, killer, deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for the weekend to be over. Raspberry season is over, sadly but there are plenty of berries available because that's the beauty of living in the modern age.

I say when life gives you raspberries year round, make raspberry jelly! Then after making your yummy jelly make PB&J bars with it!

So these were initially going to be just plain pb&j bars. I think I’ve told you that I live with a few crazy people who don’t like peanut butter. Well, when I’m making something that I know is not generally liked by everyone I’ll usually make two different things. This time I happened to be making some chocolate chip cookies since I was already baking and I know the PB haters love their chocolate.

So there I was making these two things side by side and I realized that the chocolate was destined to be with PB&J. Like, I think I might start putting chocolate chips on sandwiches. Why is that not a thing, people?

Okay, so maybe putting chocolate on sandwiches that are already pushing the line between lunch and dessert is a bit of a stretch, but I’m just gonna tell you that it’s really working on these bars. Oh, and before the chocolate happened I had already opted to add crunchy peanut butter over creamy and realized that these needed extra peanuts too.

So what we’ve got here is a treat that will have you completely addicted with one nibble. I dare to just eat one. Hey, it’s (almost) the weekend. Live a little!

You know I am not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I'd give these a try for sure. Especially because with everything you make, you put love in it.

These bars looks amazing and should taste yummy. I once made bars using peanut butter, rice puffs, some nuts, I like these kinds of energy bars. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
