I hate to be mean here, but this recipe deserves nothing less than 5 stars. If you can't make this like the picture, shame on you. If you want a dessert like this to look pretty, then let it cool completely (common sense, take care when you cut into it and, for crying out loud, use a sharper knife. These are amazing! Thank you Jeff for the inspiration, as I've made a gluten free, grain-free version of these for my Paleo lifestyle. Keep up the solid work!

Warning: You can destroy half a pan of these without even thinking about it! The first time I made these I used the buttered foil method and it was a disaster. The foil still ended up sticking to the bottom and I ended up having to peel it off in little pieces. Not fun at all. The second time I made them I just generously buttered a glass dish, and I wished I had just done that the first time. I was able to cut it into pieces in the dish – much easier. Whatever flavor of jelly you decide to use (I’ve used strawberry and triple berry is a no-fail combination. They really do taste like a make-shift pb&j sandwich!

The family and I really enjoyed these blondies! I tweaked the recipe a bit; using a full jar of organic strawberry preserves and replacing the chips with softened, fresh ground peanut butter. I heated the peanut butter over a low flame with some water to get a smoother, flowing consistency. Other than those two mods, followed the rest to a t. Came out great!

The flavor is good, but you will definitely need something to drink with these. I used raspberry jam and doubled it. That seemed to be the right amount to cover all the bars. These are messy and difficult to cut. Still, everyone seemed to love the flavor.

I made these for the first time and really liked them, even though I inadvertently bought butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter chips and didn't notice until the chips were already mixed in to the dough. I went ahead and made them anyway and I thought they were very good. I'm sure they will be even better when I use peanut butter chips! Easy, pretty, and delicious.

I love peanuts and I love strawberry preserves, but still this cookie was lacking something for me. I had friends who LOVED it, and I'm glad, but this cookie probably won't be made again by me.

This may be my new favorite cookie! I used grape jelly and it tasted like a PB&J sandwich! Even the squares with only a little jelly were good.

I made these a little differently than stated recipe, but they were YUMMY! When you have people that can not eat chocolate, these fill that void! I used one cup of creamy peanut butter and a half cup of salted, sweet cream butter - not unsalted, in place of the one and a half cups of butter. I also substituted Hershey's Cinnamon Chips in place of the peanut butter chips. And, I used apple jelly. They came out fabulous! Who doesn't like peanut butter on their apples! And the cinnamon chips added just a hint of cinnamon which really accentuated the apple, too! Hershey's cinnamon chips are only available during the holidays. Very tasty!

Overall I thought they lacked flavor. The bites with Jelly were good, but the overall bar was kind of blah! I used grape jelly, but maybe something with more tangy punch would be better. I also thought they needed more Peanut Butter flavor. Probably won't try again.

I'm making mine with Peanut Butter Chips, Semi Sweet Chocolate chips, and White chocolate! They should be great! I've already made them regular. Delicious!
