Two kid favorites combined into one delicious treat. I put this together on a whim for the kids one day and they LOVED it. I guess I'm a kid at heart because I thought it was pretty great, too!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This peanut butter and jelly french toast is a PB&J lover's dream. The French toast is delicious alone. In this recipe, it's used as the sandwich bread and smeared with a layer of jam or jelly. The peanut butter syrup, though, sends this over the top. It's super creamy and delicious to dip the toast into. Each bite is nutty, salty, and sweet. So good!
