- set aside.*In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth - about 30 seconds to one minute. Add the brown sugar and beat on high speed until creamed - about 2 minutes.

*Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract, then beat in the peanut butter just until combined.*With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until everything is combined.

*Pour half of the dough evenly into the pan then spread with grape jelly leaving about ½ an inch border around dough then sprinkle remaining dough over the top in small clumps (you don't have to use it all). Gently press down on some of the clumps so they stick slightly to jelly .

- don't overbake! Allow bars to cool completely before cutting into them as they will fall apart if cut warm from the oven."
