Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned PB&J? This simple yet satisfying sandwich takes us back to our childhood days—making lunch with mom or enjoying a meal with our friends in the school cafeteria.
While we’re pretty sure you already know how to make a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich (hint: the name is the recipe), check out our list below of some crazy, creative variations on this lunchtime favorite.
1. Grilled PB&J

We used the following: creamy peanut butter, chocolate-hazelnut spread, crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam, honey, and marshmallow fluff.
