Back-to-school calls for delicious comfort food, so it’s no surprise that I turn to the traditional treats of childhood when packing lunchboxes. Just like a new box of crayons transports me to the simple joys of kindergarten, the familiarity of pb&j sandwiches conjures up days of simplicity and innocence. This iconic duo inspired my new twist: Bundles of PB & Joy.

Substitute whole-wheat tortilla wraps in place of bread and tuck them into your child’s lunchbox. Try them for a satisfying breakfast or for the perfect after-school snack.

Before the back-to-school rush takes over, let me encourage you to find joy in the simple things. Hearken back to the good old days and reward your kids — and yourself — with this innocently delicious treat.

PB&Joy Bundles

Prep time: 5 minutes

Yields: 4 rollups

4 flour or whole wheat tortillas (at room temperature)

1/2 cup Smucker’s Natural Strawberry Fruit Spread

3/4 cup Jif Natural Peanut Butter Spread

Instructions

Spread tortillas with Jif Natural Peanut Butter Spread (or your brand of choice) to within 1/2-inch of edges. Top peanut butter with Smucker’s Natural Strawberry Fruit Spread. Carefully roll up tortillas.

To serve, slice rolls in half or into 1-inch bite-size pieces. You can also wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. To serve, remove from refrigerator and let sit until it comes to room temperature.
