3 Ingredient Peanut Butter and Jelly Bites

3 Ingredient PB and J Bites! Great for kids and lunch boxes

Peanut butter and jelly: the most infamous kid-food found in lunch boxes everywhere.

I’m making PB&Js a little more fun with these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter and Jelly Bites. These are the perfect bite-sized snack for little ones and you can substitute any dried fruit and any nut or seed butter to create your own versions.

With only three ingredients, it’s not hard to make! You take your dried fruit and chop in the Food Processor. Then you can roll the fruit into little bite-sized balls. These are going to be a little sticky, so while you are melting the peanut butter you can pop them in the freezer.

Any dried fruit can be the "jelly" in these 3 Ingredient PB and J Bites.

After trying my hand at making truffles dipped in chocolate, I can tell you peanut butter is like a dream to melt. So easy! Drop each dried fruit ball in the melted peanut butter and tap the excess off. You can then roll it in crushed graham crackers or Nilla wafers.

So…..

dried fruit = the jelly

peanut butter = well, peanut butter

graham crackers = the bread

voila! Peanut butter and Jelly Bites!

"Jelly" in Peanut Butter

I would probably store these PB&J Bites in the fridge or at least out of warm places. If the peanut butter melts, it sure wouldn’t be a kid-friendly food anymore!

Let me know if you try any other variations!

    Chrystal, the raisins are a play on Grape Jelly- they are basically made from the same thing! Yes, you can certainly substitute any dried fruit for the raisins!

    What a great twist on PB&J. I am not sure about the raisins. I can’t remember the last time I had PB and raisins together. I am sure the kiddo would love it. I would want to try it with maybe a date and some almond butter for another variety.

    These are so clever. They’d be perfect to make for a party or even a playdate. I would have to make a double batch since I’d eat these up myself!

    This is such a clever and healthy recipe. If only my daughter’s school wasn’t peanut-free I’d make them and pack in her lunchbox. I’m still going to make them we’ll just have to eat them at home.

    These look awesome! I love anything PB&J and have just recently started experimenting with dates and energy ball recipes. I will have to try these!!

    Oh wow those look so yummy! I have been on a peanut butter and jelly kick! I recently made brownies with peanut butter and strawberry jelly dropped in the batter!

    Interesting twist on PB&J Hubs eats them every. single. day. and swears that he’s not tired of them even though it’s been years. I don’t believe him.

    This is SUCH a smart take on regular peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! My son would totally love these and they look so easy to make.
