Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
These vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly bars are the coziest treat and always bring me back to my childhood! They have a shortbread crust, peanut butter filling, and are topped with jam - what's not to love! They're also vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free so hopefully everyone can enjoy!
