You’re the Peanut Butter to my Jelly

Although, Adam actually doesn’t like peanut butter. So I guess I’m the peanut butter, and he’s the jelly. Specifically raspberry jelly. 

With Valentine’s day coming up I thought about all of my favourite ingredients that seem to go together naturally. Peanut butter and jam (or jelly) definitely popped into my mind. A natural pair, or duo. They compliment each other with a little sweet and salty. An original couple. 

Seeing as how Valentine’s Day is about couples I wanted to create some recipes that were great for sharing. These made huge chocolate cups, so half of one would be enough – although I did eat an entire one to myself (hello stomachache). 

They’re simple to make, and store easily. You could even bundle them up in a to-go package to spread the love. 

I was going to use regular Jam, but Adam assured me Jelly was different (because there aren’t any seeds.) Seeing as how I didn’t have jelly I decided to improvise. To make jelly simply warm up regular jam then push it through a mesh sieve, the seeds will be removed and you’ll have smooth jelly. Easy.
