Peanut butter and jelly bars!

When me and my two sisters went to school we would always make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So by Friday we would have so much  peanut butter and jelly it could literally it could last us a year. So I had to figure out some way to  use it. So I decided to make them into little dessert bars and they were really good. I mean every one likes a traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich but now it's a dessert. It has all the flavors of a traditional sandwich but some thing is just different. With the crunch of the fresh peanuts on top it just takes its way to a finish to a delightful delicious dinner.
