The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an American classic enjoyed by many. Here are some ways that you can go beyond the sandwich and try some unique versions of the delicious combination.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Various ingredients depending on what you choose to make
  1. Step 1

    Have your lunchtime staple for dessert with a peanut butter and jelly pie. Served cold, this pie incorporates a layer of jelly over a fluffy peanut butter filling in a graham cracker crust. A full set of directions is available below in the Resources section.

  2. Step 2

    A peanut butter and jelly sundae is another fun way to enjoy this classic staple as a dessert. This can be a very rich dessert, so vanilla ice cream is probably the best base. Top it with peanut butter ice cream topping (it is easier to pour) and a few spoonfuls of the jelly of your choice. Add some whipped cream and a cherry and you are set to enjoy this frozen treat.

  3. Step 3

    Want to sip on some peanut butter and jelly at happy hour? Try the peanut butter and jelly martini. Mix two parts Absolut Vodka, one part black currant liqueur, one part hazelnut liqueur and one part strawberry puree in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a strawberry.

  4. Step 4

    Mix it up and take your peanut butter and jelly on the go with a peanut butter and jelly shake. Combine 2 cups of milk, 2 tbsp. of jelly, 2 tbsp. of peanut butter, 1 chopped frozen banana and 2 tbs. of honey. Put it in the blender and mix it until it is smooth.

  5. Step 5

    If you still want to stick to your peanut butter and jelly sandwich then try a uniquely flavored peanut butter. Different companies are making peanut butter in flavors that include peanut butter and chocolate, peanut butter and raisin and even peanut butter and banana.

Tips & Warnings
  • Have fun using different flavors of jelly to change things up a bit.
  • Try the gourmet peanut butter that is ground right at the store.
  • Do not be afraid to try reduced-fat peanut butter, you may actually like the taste better.
  • Some gourmet peanut brands are made free of trans fats.
