Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler

August 26, 2013 By Betsy Cohen

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler

Desserts Required - Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler

Friday afternoon I was sitting with friends of mine whom I was planning to have dinner with that night. I told them a few ideas of desserts I wanted to try, one of which I would bring with me to dinner. Jessica piped in that she wanted something with peanut butter and jelly.

Always a favorite combination, I thought I could make pband j bars in the short timeline I had, even though it did mean stopping at the grocery store on the way home. Not the end of the world, just a wrinkle in my schedule.

I used a combination of strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries for the middle layer of the bars. The peanut butter dough was pressed on the bottom of the pan and then crumbled on the strawberries. Peanuts spread over the top and pressed in seemed like a good idea, as well.

My timing did not turn out to be exactly as planned. The bars came out of the oven so close to dinnertime that I had to bring the whole pan with me to the clubhouse where we were eating. Not exactly what one normally brings, but this was an emergency…I needed tasters.

When I cut into the bars, I realized very quickly that the consistency was off for a bar and decided a spoon would be a better serving piece. My friend Barb, who was sitting next to me, was so excited with the consistency. She was the one who came up with the name, Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler.

I asked everyone who tried it if they would rather have a bar instead of a cobbler and the answer was, “NO”. I have to admit, I was too full to eat the cobbler Friday night and I gave what was left to Barb to take home; knowing I needed to make another batch on Saturday for the blog pictures.

After tasting the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler I knew how right Barb was. This is really a fun and delicious way of eating pb and j. I love when a dessert goes awry and then turns out to be a favorite.

  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg

  4. Press ⅔ of the dough into the prepared pan. Spread the strawberry jam over the dough and then place the cut strawberries over the jam. Crumble the remaining dough over the strawberries. Gently pat down. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top and press them gently into the dough.
  5. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes, rotating the pan front to back halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
  6. Betsy's tidbits:
  7. Peanut Butter & Jelly Cobbler may be served hot, warm, room temperature or cold. Ice cream is delicious over the cobbler when served hot or warm.

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
