Peanut Butter and Jelly Pudding Trifle

Well, peanut butter and jelly has always been one of my favorites.

Honestly, growing up I was a picky eater. But peanut butter and jelly was one meal option I would never pass up.

Same, as myself my own little, picky eater also loves peanut butter and jelly.

But I thought I would try a slightly different variation of this classic favorite for both of us picky eaters.

As right now, my kids are in back-to-school mode after the holiday break a few weeks ago.

When they come home from school, they are back to looking for healthier snack options.

Again though, I have to keep the picky eater in mind though.

See my picky eater also enjoys pudding, as well as granola.

Plus all of these, I happily can find at my local Target.

Therefore, I decided to combine the pudding, granola, peanut butter and jelly to make trifle cups for my kids’ after school snack.

Plus, the former Christmas Cooke Swap group I joined in December for the holidays has decided that they will be running trifle recipes.

So, killing two birds with one stone essentially here.

    Delicious! My kids’ favorite. I like peanut butter more than jelly but in this respect, I’d love them equally. Maybe I’m just not a bread person!

  3. Seana Turner says

    I am a bit of a weirdo in that I never liked peanut butter and jelly… only the peanut butter. I think the idea of a trifle is great for kids, especially because they can help make it and put it (or leave out) the stuff they like!

  4. AnnMarie John says

    Oh my! Madison would just LOVE this. She’s the peanut butter and jelly fanatic in the house and love it any which way she can get it. I may have to give this a try. Thank you!!

  6. Emily says

    This looks like everyone’s child hood dream dessert. Peanut butter & Jelly will forever be one of my very very favorite combos.

  9. William Holland says

    Sorry I’m late I was up in Seattle helping Bev with her job.

    I don’t see anything in this recipe I won’t eat, which is saying quite a bit for this picky eater. 🙂

    Happy Thursday my friend.

  10. Jen says

    This looks amazing Janine! I would eat them, my kids would eat them. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t. YOU NAILED IT!

    Pinned, shared and tweeted this awesomeness. Plans to make it will be very, very soon 🙂

    • Janine says

      Aw, thank you Jen so much for your kind words and all your shares, too. Hope you can try for you and your kids soon soon 😉

  11. Cynthia says

    Wow! I would have never thought to combine those, but ya know, I’d try it! 🙂 Huh…maybe even us big kids will like it, too. 😉
    Mmm…I just thought other flavors of pudding might be yummy, too…like strawberry or vanilla. Mmm. Now you’re getting me hungry for dessert and I ate dinner only a little while ago. Hmm. Hehe.
    Happy Thursday to ya!

    • Janine says

      I am going to try vanilla with this soon, as well, but I just couldn’t resist chocolate LOL! That said said I hope you can try soon and Happy Thursday right back at you!! 😉

  12. Leslie says

    Oooooh! This looks fantastic! My kids would have to worry about me eating it all up before they come home. Seriously, who doesn’t like peanut butter & jelly? ?

  13. Christine Carter says

    That seriously looks so delicious. Peanut butter and jelly are awesome! And you did such a great job adding some twist to it.

    This is my ABSOLUTE favorite sandwich to eat. Everyday. All Day. My husband and kid. Not so much. Wahhh…they don’t even know what they are missing! i LOVE your photos! They came out super gorg! And I need to put this in my Food Love board on Pinterest to try when I want to make fancy stuff. =)

  23. Candace Playforth says

    This is beautiful :). A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is still one of my favorite foods. Such comfort. And to add chocolate just takes it to a whole new level. I’ll definitely have to try this. Thanks Janine!

  25. Lee Orlian says

    Yummy! This is one of those irresistible treats! I prepared a similar recipe with rice cake instead of granola. I like your recipe better and will follow your suggestion! Thank you for sharing!
