I once purchased peanut butter with cayenne pepper in it – I was in a convenience store in Amsterdam, and couldn’t read the Dutch labels. :o It was exceedingly strange, but not altogether unpleasant… ---

My 3rd child “PickleHead” absolutely loves Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Preferably sweet pickles but any kind will do. My wifes grandfather used to eat peanut butter with ham spread…never tried it but to each your own. ---

I’m quite partial to crunchy PB with orange marmalade on toast. Makes a nice midnight snack. I also like my PB with raspberry or blackberry jam. No jelly. Must be jam. ---

Mix Peanut Butter, honey, and some wheat germ in a bowl then use like you normally would. The wheat germ adds a delightful crunch and some good nutrition. In a decadent mood? Take a bagel, cut it in half and toast lightly. Spread some of the above mixture on each half. Add some chocolate chips on top of the PB mixture and place in toaster oven until chocolate melts. Enjoy. ---

As I am a plain fellow, I like my PB sammiches plain. The bread should toasted, though. ---

Peanut butter on toasted raisin bagel with raisins on it. Also, peanut butter and ketchup in equal amounts makes a great spread, but nobody is willing to try it. ---

My SO makes a grilled cheese, spreads it (on top) with PB and strawberry jelly, and eats it with a knife and fork. ---

Thank-you **masonite** and **Palve** for enlightening this poor deprived Aussie. Fluff looks yummy To think that all these years I thought a fluffernutter was something akin to a twinky 🙂 ---

You know those soft, squishy dried figs? Either the small dark ones or the big golden ones. Try chopping some up and arranging a dense layer on top of the peanut butter, preferably inside whole wheat bread. It’s kind of like a peanut butter fig newton, and you can’t beat it for pre-bike ride carbo loading. One or two extra sandwiches fit down in the bike jersey pockets, although they come out a little squished at mealtime. ---

Crunchy, chunky peanut butter with almost crispy bacon and sliced peaches. And it has to be on pumpernickel. Yum! ---

I grew up on a variation similar to peri’s: smooth PB, a slice of tomato and crispy bacon on toasted white bread. We called it a BPBT. ---

Growing up I was never keen on grape, but disliked all the pips in strawberry jam. PB and honey was always lovely… especially if mixed together before spreading. Have never thought about a ‘fluffernutter’ sarnie. Now that I live in the UK doubt I’ll ever get to experience one until I go back to the States on holiday. I must admit, when my husband (Kal who posted above) tried to get me to try his concoction of PB, cheddar cheese and salad cream… eeewww… just the thought made me squeamish but hey, guess what… they are SOOOO yummy!!! But yes, any PBJ sarnie MUST be accompanied with ice cold milk :O) My dad likes his buttered on one side, the PB on the butter, then strawberry jelly or applebutter on the other side. Then he zaps it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it all gooey… ---

Just go back to the basics: [ul][li]Fresh home-made, whole-wheat bread.[/li] [li]Grape preserves from last year’s harvest off of the vines in the backyard.[/li] [li]Natural peanut butter (none of that _hydrogenated oil_ here!).[/li][/ul] It just doesn’t get any better than that. ---

Most of the above submissions sound yummy. My contribution is: crunchy peanut butter, jelly (choice of flavor), and grated carrot on whole wheat bread. The carrot offers another level of sweetness and makes me feel like I am eating something healthy. Oh, the cold glass of milk is mandatory, as well.🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/peanutbutter-sandwiches/98778.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/peanutbutter-sandwiches/98778.md?page=3)
