A Candy-Bar Sandwich

Wed., April 29, 1998

What could be better than peanut butter and jelly between two slices of bread?

How about a jelly filling inside a peanut butter coating — the blueprint for P.B.&J bars from Liberty Orchards in Cashmere, Wash., makers of the popular Aplets and Cotlets.

Sneak previewed last winter, the treats are now available in area stores in strawberry or grape flavors.

And best of all, they don’t stick to the roof of your mouth.

Price: About 50 cents for a 1.5-ounce bar.

Available: At various supermarkets and pharmacies in Eastern Washington and North Idaho; for a complete catalog, call 1-800-888-5696.
