How to Make Oven-Baked Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents

Kid-friendly and portable, this oven-baked Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents recipe, takes a classic favorite and offers layers of crusty goodness.

One of my fondest memories of growing up has to be hands-down, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It’s true. I remember my mom loading us up with stacks of sandwiches (there were five kids to feed) to enjoy a makeshift picnic outside.

I have to admit that even as an adult, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my go to meal when I’m pressed for time.

I still get a warm and fuzzy feeling thinking about how wonderfully decadent these sandwiches tasted while sitting on a blanket in the summer sun. Our hands and faces were sticky, but hey, that’s what life’s about, isn’t it?

And, now this recipe Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescent Rolls has now become my family favorite. With layers of crusty goodness this kid-friendly treat will also have kids of all ages clamoring for you to make it, again and again.

Why? Because it’s so easy to make and clean up too!

DID YOU KNOW? If you are a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, then you’ll love this yearly celebration of National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, April 2.

So I got to thinking how could I take a classic and make it go sky high? My answer was to wrap the filling with rich crescent dough. The result was sheer decadence. In just a few minutes I could prepare and bake a treat or meal that I have to say is out of this world.

You’re gonna want to try this recipe yourself. But be aware that it will be difficult to limit yourself to eating just one.

Here’s a step by step tutorial how to make Oven-Baked Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents.

To Make:

Open a package of your favorite refrigerated crescent dough and roll out one of the triangles to fill.

Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter but be sure to leave at least a 1/4 of an inch around all three sides free from filling.

Do the same with your favorite flavor of jam, in my case, lingonberry jam–1 teaspoon.

Place Peanut Butter and Jelly Crescents in a preheated 375 degree F oven to bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. 

Remove from oven once baked. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve. Eat. Enjoy!
