Test Kitchen Tips
  • You can reduce the fat and sugar content in this recipe by substituting cream cheese for reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • This recipe is flexible, so try it with different juices and jams that you have on hand. Orange juice and marmalade would also work deliciously here! Apple jelly is also a great stand-in.
  • These peanut butter sandwich ideas are so genius you just have to try them.
