Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Use natural for a healthier spin.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Can substitute with honey or maple syrup.
  • 1 large egg For a vegan option, use a flax egg.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a well for the jelly.
