Took these to a Father's day gathering. Everyone loved them. My 21 year old nephew said, "OMG". I think they taste best chilled. Very easy

I have been making these for years and always bring them to large group events- NO ONE ever believes me that its basically just peanut butter and jelly! They taste much fancier than the name gives them credit for!
