After school snacks are so hard to come up with…you want something that fills your kiddos up for a little while, but doesn’t spoil their dinner. You also want them to have a decent level of nutrition, but something that they still enjoy. I came up with this fun Peanut Butter and Jelly Dip idea, which makes the perfect after school snack for kids! This peanut butter and jelly dip recipe would be served great with graham crackers, cookies, wafers, apples, celery sticks, and more! Have fun with it or pack it in lunches for a sweet treat! Your kids will love their favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the form of a dip!

I like to make this simple recipe with my favorite Jif and Smuckers products and serve it with some graham crackers or sliced fruit! Apples do great with this kids snack too!
What you need for this Peanut Butter and Jelly Dip
cream cheese
Peanut Butter
powdered sugar
vanilla
Strawberry Jelly
How to Make:
Mix together peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick and creamy.
Gently stir in jelly, not completely mixing in, but enough to create “swirls” in the dip.

I’m confident that your kids will love this snack as much as my kiddos do! If you want to mix things up, you can try out different jellies including grape jelly to make different dip options. You could even do something fun like add marshmallows to the graham crackers and make peanut butter and jelly s’mores! So fun! Enjoy!
