Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report
I'm a heretic: I never liked PB&J. (And can someone please explain to me why, when I was little, my mother insisted on putting butter on my peanut butter sandwich? Butter and PB together? Huh??) On the other hand, I looooooove creamy PB (it HAS to be creamy, never crunchy) on challah...

I miss Fluffernutters! It was a college staple of mine.

Crunchy PB (preferably all-natural with no hydrogenated oils), sliced banana and honey between slices of seven-grain or whole wheat bread.
Has anyone ever tried/made/know where to purchase peanut butter-banana ice cream?

Deep-fried, y'all.

Peanut butter and butter is good.
Peanut butter and honey is best with a sprinkle of wheat germ, especially when toasted in a skillet like grilled cheese.
Peanut butter and cream cheese is good too.
Peanut butter and Nutella...oooohhhh...

Even with "scientific ratios", we all have our favorite ways of doing PBJ! To toast or not to toast? ... depends on my mood. Rye bread is my favorite with apricot preserves. Ooohhhh! I had forgotten all about using marshmallow fluff. Yum. I never understood the use of butter with peanut butter. For those of you who did, or still do, eat PB accompanied by butter, I hope there is a cardiologist in your family!

I'm shocked no one has mentioned peanut butter and fluff! What could be better than cheap-o wonder bread, crunchy Skippy, and an equally thick layer of marshmallow fluff? My favorite!

I do not like PB&J or J or PB or bread with anything but butter (if it is toasted otherwise plain). The combination of textures and flavors just grosses me out...
I also don't like cake and ice cream together.

sunflower seed butter for me!

Personally, I could never do the toasting...all around texture should be mushy (no crunchy PB), so that I could eat it if I had just lost my two front baby teeth.
And I'll take mine with the crusts cut off, please.

cheap white bread......skippy crunchy PB....strawberry preserves.....and cayenne pepper !!!!.....with a glass of milk so cold it has little ice chips in it

The bread must always be toasted. I can't stand the bread right out of the package. Plus, if it's warm the peanut butter melts and that equals heaven on bread.
Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report
Come on folks, no toasting going on? I haven't eaten a non-toasted PB&J...in damned near forever.

@catpurrson: My dad adds butter to his PBJ also! He insists it's great...Personally I don't think I've ever eaten it that way, unless he did it making one of my sandwiches growing up.
It baffles my mind

Kraft smooth on white bread with raspberry jam... Perfection!
Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report
I like peanut butter on toast. No jelly ever. I do like bacon bits, crushed potato chips or cheddar cheese.

Just found them at fantes.com Ordered four! I also found them at Traders Point Creamery. I didn't order theirs as they were more expensive, but they also looked to be a bit better in quality.

Here in Norway, we're not really big on peanut butter. What we eat for our salty-yet-oh-so-sweets sandwich-wise is goat cheese and strawberry jam. Other fruit preserves are also popular with goat cheese, but strawberry is my lifelong favorite.
I did get inspired by your article, though, so I went out and bought some peanut butter. I'm gonna hold on to my Scandinavian heritage, but the PB&J is a welcome addition to my sandwich arsenal.

Chunky PB and honey on multigrain bread--divine. I also adore PB and apricot preserves on multigrain.

@Catpurrson: I have had no luck trying to find one in the U.S. :(

I too subscribe to the PB on both sides of the bread method, to keep the jelly from bleeding through the bread. The downside to this though is that sometimes the jelly completely slides out of the sandwich and ends up on the side of my Tupperware container! So, even though it's a bit wasteful, I usually wrap the sandwich in a little piece of foil or plastic wrap to keep the jelly from escaping.
I don't want to be a kill joy, but I just recently heard about some kind of toxic mold that grows on peanuts? I can't seem to find any reputable sources addressing this topic Perhaps in a future article Serious Eats could address this issue.
