Let's start with what we know: I wish Ina Garten was my friend. The woman is a DELIGHT.
Now that that's been cleared up...
A word of warning: DON'T MAKE THESE unless you're prepared to eat the entire tray within 24 hours. The squares are that good.
In fact, to call them squares doesn't do them justice. You're basically layering peanut butter cookie dough with jelly. It's like a cookie-cobbler hybrid and I'm here for it.
These are the handful of substitutions I made:
- Halved the recipe
- Used cran-apple jelly (and probably not enough, I used up all we had left in the jar)
- Forgot to half the roasted peanuts lol
The result:
Not the most compelling photograph. (Note the paper towel lol.) Who has time to take pictures of their food when it tastes so damn good?
Anyway, the recipe was easy to follow, the ingredient list was pretty basic (you probably them all in your cupboard already), the end result was sweet and gooey and comforting and everything you want from a baked treat, really.
Try them and enjoy them. Thanks Ina!
