    These look like they would be ab it healthier than an actual peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Plus, these can be made ahead without getting soggy! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!

      They are definitely not healthier than regular PB&J on whole wheat bread. Delicious as a dessert though.
