Grocery List

• 1 container Philadelphia brand no-bake cheesecake filling
• 1 store-bought graham cracker crust
• 1 cup peanut butter (melted in 15–30 second intervals). I would recommend a smooth peanut butter not one with chunks in it.
• 1 cup jelly (melted in 15–30 second intervals). The type of jelly is your preference. I prefer strawberry jam for the taste, but grape, blueberry, pretty much any jelly that you’d like would be ideal for this recipe!
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
