PB&J Bars

These are not necessarily 'healthy' but they are gluten free friendly & sometimes a girl has to indulge right?

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups GF Flour 
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 tbsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup raspberry jelly
1/2 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts 

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 8x8 baking pan or pyrex with aluminum foil and coat foil with non-stick spray, like Pam
2. Whisk flour, baking powder & salt together in a bowl
3. In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar & softened butter with an electric mixer on low speed
4. Add egg & vanilla, continue mixing until blended
5. Slowly incorporate flour mixture beating on low to blend ingredients together



6. Press 1/2 the dough into the bottom of the pan 
7. Put remaining half into the freezer for 10 minutes
8. Spread the raspberry jelly evenly over the dough 



9. Remove dough from freezer and break into small pieces and scatter evenly over jelly
10. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the dough
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
