myself all week because in my mind it's already fall. The leaves are falling off the tree outside my bedroom window. I'm already dreaming about making all sorts of delicious fall goodies. Just yesterday I cooked 3 kilos (like 6 pounds) of Camotes Enmielados (Candied Sweet Potatoes in Piloncillo Syrup), which made my house smell like one of those Bath & Body Works fall candles. And my kiddies all go back to school tomorrow.
But as excited as I am about fall, a part of me isn't ready to let go of summer just yet. It's probably because the kiddies' summer break was only 5 weeks long this year, which has to be the shortest. summer. break. EVER! Thankfully Hubby kindly reminded me that just because school starts tomorrow doesn't mean that summer season is officially over. My calendar clearly marks that we still have one whole month of summer to enjoy. So with that in mind and because peanut butter and jelly is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of back-to-school lunches, I made the kiddies these PB&J Paletas (popsicles) as a cool (and delicious) afterschool snack to help beat the heat of the dog days of summer.
One bite of these Peanut Butter & Jelly Paletas and I'm sure you'll agree that they taste like a pb&j sandwich on a stick. Only way cooler!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Paletas
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain or vanilla flavored yogurt
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or grape jelly
Mix the yogurt, peanut butter, and sugar (if using) with a wire whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed until completely combined. Fill 6 to 8 dixie cups or popsicle molds halfway with the peanut butter mixture. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of jam, then continue filling the popsicle molds with the remaining peanut butter mixture. Insert wooden popsicle sticks into center of each mold or plastic cup. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
