What’s your favorite way to dress up/add pizzaz to a traditional PB&J sandwich?

1. Swap out the J for honey, and then briefly grill it in some butter.

2. I misread this as pizza lol.

   My PBJs are pretty boring tbh! I get Milton’s or Dave’s for bread, *maybe* toast it if it feels like the move, PB both sides, and I like jam more than jelly so whatever jam I have (strawberry or blackberry preferred. I have boysenberry from Knotts right now).

3. Toast the bread, use honey instead of jelly

4. Grill it like grilled cheese. Butter in a pan, grill both sides. Throw some banana in there for a little something extra.

5. Don’t fuck with the classics

6. Butter one side of 2 pieces of bread.
   Add peanut butter to one unbuttered side and add pickled jalapenos.
   Spread jelly on the other unbuttered side of bread and add bacon.
   Grill it in a hot pan.
   Enjoy a Northwest PB&J.

7. Put pretzels in it.

8. PB and Nutella

9. Fresh ground peanut butter makes it so much better.

10. I like Peanut butter, bacon, banana, and jelly (Elvis style).

    French toast stuffed w/ PB&J is also really good.

11. Add a layer of cream cheese

12. PB&J is already perfect.

    Any addition or substitution is a downgrade in my book.

13. I like to doctor a lot of my sandwiches but not this.

    Teddies peanut butter & grape jam.

14. I don’t dress it up at all. I use creamy peanut butter with grape jelly. But I will say that I’ve had roommates and friends comment that I’m a pb&j perfectionist because I carefully and evenly spread the peanut butter to the very edges of the bread. Same with the jelly.

15. Add a layer of Rice Krispies.

16. pretzels or potato chips added

17. I make a sandwich with a piece of toast in the middle. Both sides of the toast get jelly or jam on them. One of the outer pieces of untoasted bread gets peanut butter spread on it, the other gets cream cheese.

    I put a thin coat of mayo (could also use butter) on the outside of the sandwich and then toss it on my panini grill.

18. Fry it like a grilled cheese

    You’re welcome

19. I add crunchy peanut butter.

20. Sounds stupid, but I put spicy potato chips in there. So fucking good.

21. It’s no longer a PB&J if you’re adding stuff.

22. PB&J is not for dressing up

23. Peanut butter and fresh fruit.

24. PB, banana, mayo on whole wheat toast

25. Put potato chips in it

26. Toast the bread; thin layer of peanut butter on both sides and a drizzle of honey in the middle and a little cinnamon. Or just use really good homemade bread and homemade jelly/jam.

27. Nothing. Anything you’d add would make it worse.

28. banana slices can work

    also a little honey

    or toast it, rather than raw bread

29. Add more peanut butter.

30. Three slices of bread, heavily toast the middle one

31. Pb&j is just that. Leave it alone.

    Now ya wanna talk peanut butter?

    How about pb and honey on a tortilla shell with a slice of bacon.

    I sometimes Like pb and yellow mustard.

    Pretzels.

    Peanut butter on my pancakes with real maple syrup and sausage links (with pb on them).

    Pb, baloney, and pickles.
    Pb on a cheeseburger.
    Pb curry.

    I sound like Bubba from Forest Gump lol.

32. I use maple almond butter instead of PB, and sometimes I’ll use jalapeño apple jam as the jelly with regular peanut butter.

33. There is none you are eating a pp&j that’s it

34. Use a jam from a farmer’s market?
