Why I Need Peanut Free Recipes

This fall my favorite snack was dry roasted peanuts. I ate them almost every day as my afternoon snack. For weeks I woke up with a terrible headache in the morning more often than not and I wondered why. After doing some research I couldn’t pin point the problem. That was until I ran out one week and didn’t have any peanuts at all. Surprise, surprise, no headaches. It was then that I learned that nuts and peanuts can cause headaches. It didn’t occur to me that I might have a peanut sensitivity. Since cutting peanuts out of my diet I rarely get headaches anymore. Thanks to Jen Brown for this recipe, I now have a way to enjoy the peanut taste I love without the headache.

How to Make Peanut Butter Jelly Cups

To make these peanut butter cups with jelly, you’ll need to melt your Wowbutter (or peanut butter) and butter in a small saucepan. Once melted and cooled slightly, pour your mixture into your silicone baking cups and place in the freezer to harden. Add approximately 1/2 tablespoon grape jelly into the center moving it back into the freezer to firm up. Then pour remaining Wowbutter mixture over the tops and freeze a least another hour.

TIP: Line a muffin tin with your silicone cups for easier transport and filling.
