Instead of the usual chocolate and banana or ham and cheese fillings you'd find in most French crepes, Trader Joe's new "PB & J" Filled Crepes feature a classic combination of peanut butter and jam. Each thin crepe is made from a sweet and savory wheat-flour batter, which boasts the perfect balance of sugar and salt. Each crepe is then topped with a thin layer of peanut butter spread and sweet strawberry filling, and rolled up into a ready-to-eat treat. Best of all, the crepes are individually wrapped and do not need to be refrigerated, so you can keep them on hand for anytime snacking.
