Peanut Butter Sandwich - fluff

I’ve never eaten one 😁

No we should just have ignored your poll as we can’t answer the question 😊

I've never made a PBJ with butter. To me, it tastes best when you use soft bread, smooth peanut butter, and lots of jelly.

My peanut butter preference is the "cheap stuff" which has added oil, not natural style.

If I was going to eat a peanut butter and jam sandwich (which I'm not) I would definitely use cholesterol lowering spread butter, two butters are always better than one.

Why bother with butter in the first place.

Of course, our bread is kept in the freezer b/c we just don’t eat that much bread. Stays fresh, and thaws quickly while you make your sandwich 🙂

I put the butter on the outside of the sandwich and make a grilled pb&j as I would a grilled cheese. Delicious!

I've never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I've never eaten a peanut butter an Fluff sandwich. I've plain peanut butter sandwiches and have never buttered the bread. Didn't know that was a thing. Even if I have peanut butter on toast, I don't butter it first.

I only ever knew one person to put butter first on a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and that was my one grandmother.

The first time I saw her make a pb&j I was like this:

I thought it was the weirdest thing I had ever seen in my young life, LOL! I did still eat it, but it seemed all wrong to me. After all, the ingredients for the sandwich are right in the name "Peanut butter" and "Jelly".

So one day I told that story to DH because I saw him butter toast, then put jam on one side and peanut butter on the other and despite the fact that he often made toast that way he had never tried making an untoasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich that way. So go figure!

I prefer honey to jam/jelly. Must be extra crunchy peanut butter. I butter the one slice and then put honey on top of the butter. I only use butter for baking, so it’s the heart *healthy* variety. Although, I rarely eat these.

I have never buttered the bread before making a PB&J in my life. I’ve also never made one with toasted bread. I think the only ways a PB&J would be dry was if the peanut butter was the natural kind that doesn’t have extra oil or whatever in it or if the bread is the type with all the whole grains and stuff in it. My mom used to put a thicker layer of peanut butter on one piece of bread and a very thin layer of peanut butter on the jelly side of the bread before adding the jelly or jam, to keep the bread from getting soggy from the jelly or jam. 

Now having said all that, my DH thinks I’m weird because if I’m making any other kind of a sandwich (ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, etc.) I prefer butter as the spread on the bread vs. mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, mustard or anything else of the sort.

LOL. My mom made all of the jelly and jam we had in the house when I was growing up. She would make dozens of jars of strawberry and raspberry from scratch every year but never ever grape, so that wasn’t ever a thing for us.

I always thought it was weird that Costco sells grape and strawberry Uncrustables at the business centers but that they only sell the grape ones at the regular stores. I’d think strawberry would be preferred by way more people than grape.

I had no idea I was in the minority! I always butter the bread first when making a peanut butter sandwich. It's just the way I've always done it, so I'll just have to contend with the extra calories and fat because I'm not going to switch to no butter. To me, the best combo is PB and grape jelly with a glass of ice cold milk and a few slices of cheddar cheese on the side. I don't eat this very often, but I really enjoy it when I do. It reminds me of my childhood!
