Peanut Butter & Jelly Cocktail

Happy National Peanut Butter Day!  This is even better than my birthday.  Yes, really.  Peanut butter, especially the chunky type, might just be my favorite food.  Oh, the velvety texture, the crazy crunch, and the intoxicating roasted peanut butter perfume.  I have absolutely no control around anything laced with peanut butter (Le Vain’s chocolate peanut butter chip cookies come to mind), but I’ve never had a peanut butter and jelly cocktail until now!
