If you don't care much for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white
bread, I don't think you're going to progress much out of the dumb idea
stage. They were in the freezer for a while and I must have been
desperate for a snack. That was a mistake on my part cause I was hooked
on the first bite.
We got the big box of 18 at Costco. You keep it in the freezer and to
eat it, you let it thaw for about 20 minutes. My plan is to stock up on
these little beauties at work. I have a small refrigerator with a lame
freezer section but it's gonna work out just fine. I just have to make
sure that my daughter doesn't catch me moving the product out of the
house. She might be hooked on it too.
