Saltines Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Sandwiches

Delicious Peanut Butter Cheesecake topped with Jelly and sandwiched in between Saltine crackers.

What a week…what. a. week! Welcome back, Friday!

First of all, what is going on with this weather?! I know I keep talking about it, but last week I was sweating like a pig, and this week I am searching for my sweaters! Mr. Gore, are you messing with me again?!

Let’s just stick to talking about food, shall we?

Today I am going to solve all our problems with peanut butter. In fact, we really need to talk about these Saltines Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Sandwiches. No. It can’t wait.

I stand here before you with a big smile on my face – it stretches from ear to ear! That is how EXCITED I am about these Cheesecake Sandwiches. They are crunchy, silky, peanut buttery, sweet and salty. In one word – FAB!

You see, I’m in the middle of a PB & J love affair. 15 years and counting…

However, one of my all-time faaaaavorite snacks is peanut butter and jelly with saltine crackers. Fave!!! Thus, this dessert was a no-brainer for me.

Truth – I have finished an entire jar of PB in one sitting by spreading it on cracker after cracker… Self control does not live in these parts.

Truth #2 – I made a large batch of these sandwiches a while back and not one was left for me to possibly photograph. Or just enjoy one more… We tore ’em up! There was saltine crumbs everywhere. I hated the cleanup afterwards. BUT, it was damn worth it.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Just IN case you do, here it is:

Warning! Do not make these unless you are prepared to tear ’em up! This is the kind of dessert that you eat without realizing that you just finished your fifth samwich. Aaaaand you’re ready to dig into the sixth. Of course you would have to be a fan of all components to do that; Peanut Butter, Jelly, Cheesecake, and Saltines. Or soda crackers. I love them all. Equally.

P.S. No baking involved.

ENJOY!
