Frozen Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwhiches

This treat was one of Elvis's favorites. We think you might just enjoy it too. Perhaps while eating this concoction you could slip in an old Elvis movie and watch it while munching.

INDGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons of grape jelly
About 48 Graham Crackers, shortbread or vanilla wafers

PREPARATION:
Whip the cream and sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until the cream forms soft peaks. Add the peanut butter and continue blending until well combined. Add the grape jelly and blend for just a few seconds, until just swirled into the mix.

Spoon the peanut butter and jelly cream between 2 of the cookies and place in a freezer-safe container. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Cover the container with plastic wrap and freeze until firm.

That's it! Now, about the movie selection. Yes, you could put in a Elvis movie but there's another choice. In the movie Lilo and Stitch (2002) there's a scene where it says "It's sandwich day! Every Thursday I take Pudge the fish, a peanut butter sandwich. So... maybe this would be a good peanut butter and jelly movie too. It's a little more kid-friendly than Elvis and you'll get a laugh out of it too.

As always, we wish you good eating.
