I pinched this from My Recipes Daily Indulgence. Hubby loves Peanut Butter & Jelly and this hit the spot! I used Dry Roasted Peanuts and pulsed them lightly in my mini food processor. I didn't have unsalted butter, so I used salted and left out the salt in the recipe. You could use any sort of preserves that you like. Enjoy!
