About

Peanut butter and jelly for breakfast! Isn't that just a beautiful thought? Well, PB & J Muffins also have a beautiful taste. Creamy peanut butter is baked right into the tender and nourishing muffins, so you won't miss even a little of that classic nutty flavor. Bursts of fresh grapes bring the jelly to the party, as does the simple but sticky-sweet jam glaze on top! PB & J Muffins are America's favorite sandwich in a brand-new breakfast form!
