PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CUPCAKES RECIPE

To me, there are few things more American than a good ole peanut butter and jelly sandwich. PB&Js rank right up there with apple pie and baseball and have been our family favorite for as long as I can remember.

When I was a little girl I remember my Mom making them for me all the time. In college, I pretty much relied on PB&Js to survive. Now as an adult I still enjoy them nearly as often as I did as a child, and serve them to my family the same way my mother did.

And of course, I love to make amazing PB&J treats – like these Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes. Be sure to check out the recipe at the bottom!
