Just what you never knew you needed - your favorite childhood sandwich recreated as jell-o shots. Three boozy layers made with your favorite kind of jam. It's nostalgia at it's finest!

Tip: if your last layer of peanut butter starts hardening before you pour it in your loaf pan, you can easily thin it out by placing it back over low heat and whisking constantly. Be careful not to bring it back up to a boil or you'll burn off the alcohol!
