Post is brought to you by Santa Cruz Organic. The recipe, images, text, and opinions expressed are my own. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time classic that you can’t go wrong with. These super soft bars that are brimming with peanut butter flavor and topped with sweet strawberry spread, peanut butter chips, and a melted peanut butter drizzle are a definite swap up from a PB & J sandwich.

School is right around the corner, and I know every kid would love to open their lunchbox and see one of these staring back at them. And I know many adults who would enjoy that too.

You can upgrade your child’s lunchbox or after-school snacks with delicious Santa Cruz Organic® products. With organic apple sauces, peanut butters, and fruit spreads, Santa Cruz Organic makes it easy to nourish your entire family with delicious, high-quality ingredients.

For the bars I adapted my infamous blondie recipe and used Santa Cruz Organic® Peanut Butter in Dark Roasted Creamy. It keeps these easy, no-mixer bars so tender and moist. The peanut butter drizzle on top is the proverbial icing on the cake.

For the strawberry element I used Santa Cruz Organic® Fruit Spread in Strawberry. It’s perfectly sweet and of course complements the peanut butter beautifully.

I have a video demonstrating just how fast and easy the bars are to make. You and your kids are going to love sinking your teeth into this kind of PB & J. Tried this recipe? Leave a review! Consider leaving a 5 star rating if you’ve made and loved one of my recipes!
