What do you like on your peanut butter sandwich?

[c073186]

For starters, I like crunchy peanut butter best. But besides that, I think jelly is just too boring. My favorite additions are (not all at once, usually just one at a time):

Banana slices
Apple slices
Pear slices
Marshmallow fluff
Carrots
Celery
Mini pretzels
Bacon

Does anyone else get creative with their P.B. sandwiches? For more inspiration visit http://pbloco.com/

Anything but peanut butter.

[steveza]

Mainly just peanut butter and bread.

[psychofreak]

I like home-made (well, bread machine) bread, with Skippy crunchy peanut butter. Nothing else.

[~Shard~]

All very good options, however I am a peanut butter purist. Only peanut butter in my sandwiches and nothing more! ;) :D

And absolutely nothing beats the taste of freshly ground organic peanut butter. Besides the superior taste it is far healthier for you as well, which is much more important. None of those additives and crap, much lower sodium content, it's all good baby. :cool:

Marshmallow and/or banana are the only correct answers.

Marshmallow and/or banana are the only correct answers.

Almost true, but I'd add chocolate. What I like to do is put peanut butter on both slices and put chocolate in the middle and then put it together and toast it. Mmmm... Can't do it too often though, as you might guess, it has a few calories ;)

[Smoogz]

ummmm... whens its not jelly (i know im a blasphemer :D) i normally put bannana slices or when im really lookin for something sweet I put a squirt of good ol' Aunt Jemima's syrup on it!!!!!!

As long as the peanut butter is this stuff:

I'm happy.

When I wasn't veggie, a spicy pepperami I seem to remember went quite well. Also, when I was a kid, my mum would insist on the addition of salad to sandwiches, hence I don't mind sliced tomato because it reminds me of being a kid. But nice bread and good crunchy salty peanut butter is where it's at.

this should be the 11th commandment.

[~Shard~]

this should be the 11th commandment.

Regarding peanut butter sandwiches, or just in general? ;) :D

[Unspeaked]

this should be the 11th commandment.

Thou shalt not savor any peanut butter accompaniment other than the goodness of marsh mallow and sliced banana.

[shecky]

Regarding peanut butter sandwiches, or just in general? ;) :D

only regarding peanut butter sandwiches and sex.

[Unspeaked]

only regarding peanut butter sandwiches and sex.

Has anyone else noticed how the past couple of days, threads have been taking these obscure left turns into adult humor in less than a page?

:rolleyes:

yes. but i toast the bread.

[shecky]

see and i would characterize my comment as junior-high school humor, not adult.

[ucfgrad93]

Grape or strawberry jelly.

[tMac85]

butttttter! ( yes with the penutBUTTER and jelly)

for all of you who wonder..there is NO butter in peanut butter so dont think its a double whammy!


sounds crazy but put just a little on and it will bring your sandwich to life!

[tMac85]

see and i would characterize my comment as junior-high school humor, not adult.



no.
its not
its adult
ha

[mgargan1]

really jelly... not that fruit flavored sugar.

I also like honey, pb and h!

Oh, and it also has to be natural peanut butter... not that stuff with more chemicals than peanuts.

[Unspeaked]

I think the thought of the banana pushed it over the edge.

;) :D

[shecky]

snap. good point.

[SSerino]

HONEY!!! So good. I always eat them if I'm up late nights.

[tersono]

Just about anything so long as it's not peanut butter. Yeuch! :p;):D

[viccles]

Peanut butter only needs peanut butter :D YUM

[Unspeaked]

snap. good point.

Don't worry, it may just be an indication of how twisted I am that I read it that way...

;)

[~Shard~]

Oh, I should add that toasting the bread slightly is also quite acceptable when it comes to enjoying peanut butter sandwiches. :D :cool:

[foidulus]

Ice cream.

[steveza]

Ice cream.Stop it :)

[~Shard~]

Ice cream.

Wow.

;)

[Sirus The Virus]

Has to be crunchy Jiff, and thats all.

[Kamera RAWr]

Ice cream.

Reminds me of the comedian I saw on TV recently. Big guy talking about what he really thought was a great idea would be to take a doughnut thats right out of the oven and injecting it with frozen yoghurt :p Mmmmm..

Ok, now we can get back on topic :p

[c073186]

Oh, I forgot about Nutella too - basically chocolate but has a slightly different taste. And I do agree with others, natural peanut butter is best. I want to get a food processor though so I can make my own homemade peanut butter. I had that once and it is far superior.

Grilled peanut butter sandwiches are delicious as well. It brings it to a whole new level.

:rolleyes:

Yeah... I was hoping we could avoid that ... :D

[letsgorangers]

Usually just peanut butter. My two favorites are smooth Smart Balance and Cinnamon Raisin by Peanut Butter & Co. The latter is so delicious. Google PB&Co - they have a few other flavors, including one entitled "The Fire is On".

If I do add toppings (rare -- peanut butter is just that good on it's own), they are: banana, honey, raspberry jam (sweetened with juice, not sugar), nutella, or fig jam. Erm, not all together obviously, but you get the point.

While I don't grind my own, I have not regretted my move to natural peanut butter. It can take a few tastes to get used to because regular peanut butter has you trained to think it's sweet, but it's so worth it.

Has anyone tried peanut butter and bacon? I've heard good things.

[c073186]

Not on its own, but the Elvis (peanut butter, banana, honey, and bacon) is delicious. But it kind of masks the goodness that is peanut butter, so I keep my toppings simple and only use one at once.

[louiek]

Vegemite........and sweet chilli sauce if I've had enough to drink.

[mantic]

peanut butter-jelly-lays original potato chips for crunch.

[bosxe]

Peanut butter only needs peanut butter :D YUM

samesies

[Marble]

PB + honey + 5 minutes left alone for the inner plane of the bread to absorb and become stiff with the honey.

[Mike Teezie]

Oh, I should add that toasting the bread slightly is also quite acceptable when it comes to enjoying peanut butter sandwiches. :D :cool:

Yes. Lightly toasted bread can help the average PB sammich achieve excellence.

I like PB&J a great deal. Mixed fruit, grape, or homemade mayhaw jelly on my sandwich please. Has to be lightly applied though. I want to taste the peanut butter, not the sugary jelly. Honey is nice too.

Off to my kitchen.......

[robanga]

Bananas. Then you spread the outside with butter or margarine and fry it in a pan until golden brown.

Elvis loved them and although I rarely have them, so do I.
