Feedback: The nutty flavor of the peanut butter goes well with the salty and tangy flavor of pickles. The crunch is satisfying to the palate. I would recommend this to any college student looking for something quick and easy to fill their hunger.

Feedback: The sweetness of the jelly and cheesy flavor of Doritos don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand and it might shy away some people, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. The crunchiness of the Doritos is definitely a plus, but this dish is for the more adventurous eater.
