It wasn’t even Halloween when the first holiday toy catalogs started arriving. My boys have already been poring over the pages, circling anything and everything that strikes their fancy. And while this may seem like a not-so-subtle hint that it’s time for Santa Claus to get back in action, it actually reminds this mama that it’s always important to spend a little time making the kids think about the other things we need to focus on, especially at this time of year – our family, those in need, and everyone who helps make this world a better and safer place.
Since PB&J is synonymous with comfort and love, Jif and Smucker’s is helping me do all of those things. When the days get even busier than usual, I know that I always have jars of our favorite peanut butter and jelly in the pantry so I can send my kids to school with a simple sign of my love in a lunch I can feel good about giving them. Plus, when we are at the grocery store stocking our pantry with Jif and Smucker’s, we’ll be sure to pick up some extras for my son’s food drive for scouts, as well as when our church collects food to fill the food banks for the holidays and all winter long. It’s a simple act that can go a long way by spreading a little love in the community.
And of course I’m going to get my kids in the kitchen with me so we can spend time together and make some sweet treats to share with family, friends, and other special people in the community using our favorite comfort food combo….

How to Make Peanut Butter and Jelly White Chocolate Bark
- A layer of white chocolate is spread on a lined baking sheet.
- Then it is topped with a thick peanut butter filling much like those classic Buckeye balls that are especially popular around the holidays.
- Swirls of jelly and another layer of white chocolate complete this sweet and gooey treat.
Things get a little messy when you break it apart and sink your teeth into a piece of this white chocolate bark, with the snap of chocolate on the outside and the smooth filling on the inside, but isn’t that part of the fun of enjoying PB&J?
I had so much fun getting my kids involved in making this PB&J Chocolate Bark, and my little guy was especially thrilled when he heard this was a special gift for a few Washington, D.C. firefighters that are near and dear to our heart.
This kiddo wants to be a firefighter like his soon-to-be-uncle, so he loved helping with a handmade gift created with the fresh-roasted peanut taste of Jif Natural and a touch of sweetness from Smucker’s Natural Strawberry Fruit Spread as a simple and delicious way to spread the love this holiday season.

- Drop the jelly by teaspoonful's over the peanut butter mixture, and, using a butter knife, swirl the jelly through the peanut butter, smoothing over slightly at the end.
- Melt the remaining white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the peanut butter and jelly, then use a small offset spatula to spread and cover completely, sealing the edges as much as possible.
