Peanut Butter And Jelly Parfaits

• 4 whole Shortbread Cookies
• 1/2 cups Jelly (your Favorite Flavor)
• 1 Tablespoon Water
• 2 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1/2 cups Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cups Milk
• 1 pinch Large Pinch Of Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter Chips
• 2 Tablespoons Salted Peanuts, Chopped (optional)

1. Place the cookies in a plastic bag and crumble them with your hands or by using a rolling pin or even a can of beans. The cookies can have a few chunks left.
2. In a small bowl, combine the jelly with the water and warm very slightly in the microwave (just for a few seconds until the jelly is softened).
3. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar then add the peanut butter and milk and whisk until completely smooth and combined. Mix in a pinch of salt and taste to see if you'd like to add more. Remember that the cookies and jelly are very sweet so the peanut butter mixture should have a good bit of savory saltiness to it.
4. Layer the bottoms of two 8 ounce jars with 1/4 of the cookie mixture in each jar. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the jelly into each jar and top with a quarter of the peanut butter chips in each. Add about a quarter of the peanut butter mixture into each jar, top with the remaining cookies, jelly, chips and peanut butter. Sprinkle on the salted peanuts, if desired.
