I made these bars for my husband's birthday and he loved them! He said they were the best peanut jelly bars he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again for his next birthday.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're definitely a kid-friendly treat.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter and jelly, but these bars were surprisingly good. The peanut butter and jelly filling is sweet and creamy, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making these again.
