Certain things just go together like bread and butter, milk and cookies, and of course….peanut butter and jelly. If you really like that very last combination, you should try celebrating National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day on April 2!
According to a Smuckers timeline, PB & J sandwiches go all the way back to 3000 BC. That was when the Egyptians baked the first leavened bread. In 1500 BC, peanuts were first discovered. Thousands of years later, in 1762, there is record of the very first sandwich. In 1890, peanut butter was invented. Of course, the greatest invention was sliced bread! About seven decades ago, jams, jellies, and preserves became popular. Finally, in the 1940’s, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was invented.
Most people know of the famous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Usually that is the big thing in my lunch box! Today I will be teaching you a peanut butter and jelly recipe, but with a brand new twist.

Oh, those look REALLY good, Liv! I need some of your taste buds to rub off on Jacqui... her last snack request was 'unusual' to say the least ;)
I have a surprise for you in my April 1st post :)
Ooooh, those look SOO good. I'll have to try it.
Love from a new friend,

I can testify that these were excellent!
At first I wasn't so sure about the preserves with the ice cream, but it was excellent!
The ice cream softens the cookies nicely, mmmmm.
Lady Olivia, Thank you so much for sending this submission into Growing in Grace!
Next time you and Zach have a sleepover with us, I will have these ingredients available so you can give us a live demonstration. You are one clever little girl and we love you ~ Nana and Papa
