A relic of my youth, peanut butter & jelly. Sticky hot days at summer camp, cacophonous school lunches in the cafeteria, the pb&j was all-purpose in a way that few things are in the world of grown-ups. Unfortunately, the classic PB&J is just not quite seen as serious enough to cut it in the world of Corporate America and/or dinner parties. Imagine, then, a bar cookie (credit Martha’s
Cookies book yet again) that masquerades itself as a perfectly proper dessert for adults that, in reality, embodies the gooey, salty-sweet combination that we all know and (secretly still) love. It’s the best of both worlds and it’s pure heaven.
