Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups

Strawberry Jelly and White Chocolate Cups

So I have a confession for you, I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich virtually every day of middle school and high school.

Yes, years and years of PB&J, by choice! It still always reminds me of being a student.

But if peanut butter and jelly is public school (elementary, middle, high, community and university, public all the way!), these peanut butter and jelly cups are private Switzerland boarding school.

Rich, luxurious, and maybe not that good for you.

They're simpler than memorizing the geological layers of the earth, sure.

But because they're deeper than your standard commercial candy cup, there is a thick mantle of chocolate around the filling core.

So take this lesson to heart, if two trains are headed towards each other at 60 mph? Those passengers better mix up a batch of these and enjoy them before the crash!

Peanut Butter Filling -
1 cup creamy peanut butter
