AUSTIN, Minn., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of SKIPPY^® peanut butter announced today the launch of SKIPPY^® P.B.& Jelly Minis, a portable, shareable, mess-free baked snack that is made with real SKIPPY^® Creamy peanut butter and grape or strawberry jelly.

"We know that consumers continue to look for more and more ways to find easy protein solutions for snacking and quick meals on-the-go," said Jennesa Kinscher, brand manager at Hormel Foods. "With the launch of SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis, peanut butter and jelly lovers everywhere now have another way to enjoy the classic PB&J in a fun and convenient way."

Baked to perfection using a special blend of doughs to get a soft "bun like" texture, with the perfect combination of SKIPPY® Peanut Butter and delicious jelly, which of course, contains no high fructose corn syrup, SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis are available in three varieties:

Real SKIPPY^® Creamy peanut butter and grape jelly with white bakery bread
Real SKIPPY^® Creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly with white bakery bread
Real SKIPPY^® Natural Creamy peanut butter spread and grape jelly with whole grain bakery bread

SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis include three pieces per 2-ounce serving and are available in 4- and 10-count boxes, providing an easy solution for a quick meal or snack. Additionally, each serving contains 7 grams of protein.

"The new SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis can go right from the freezer into a lunch box or backpack and thaw for a delicious mid-morning snack or great lunch option," Kinscher added.

Found in the frozen aisle, SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis (MSRP $3.29 – $3.48 for 4-count boxes and $6.99 – 7.49 for 10-count boxes) are beginning to roll out in retailers across the country.

SKIPPY^® P.B. & Jelly Minis are the iconic brand's latest snacking innovation from the makers of SKIPPY^® peanut butter products. Earlier this summer, the brand launched SKIPPY^® P.B. Fruit Bites, a line of bite-sized real, dried fruit covered in a delicious, smooth coating made with real SKIPPY^® peanut butter.
