Peanut Butter & Jelly - Pre-Science Fair Project Survey - Everyone Please Answer?

Question

My 9 year old daughter (standing behind me as I type this) is trying to prepare for her science fair project "How To Make The Best Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich" - Step one is taste tests - step two is actually constructing the sandwich. How do you make your favorite PB & J sandwich? Please be as descriptive as possible. ie... kind of bread, brand of peanut butter, brand & flavor of jelly, jam or preserves.

(These survey results will be printed for my 9 year old daughters use in conducting her taste tests.)

Thank you all for your help - it is much appreciated.

Answer 1

i take wonder bread put welches grape jelly and jif peanutbutter mix it in a bowl it may look disgusting but it's pb and j to me. slab this on the bread not too thick

Answer 2

I like to toast the bread (different textures.)
I like supercrunchy Jif.
Our family tradition is grape jelly.
When we want it special, we go for Smuckers or for strawberry jam instead of plain old grape.
My husband taught me to spread the peanut butter with a spatula, because it's Much faster. Some of us insist on having the PB reach every corner of the bread.
I like the jelly to almost be messy.
We all like whole wheat bread, 9 grain or 12 grain.
Pumpernickle (dark) tastes good for a change, but not for all the time.
My dad is a physician. for all the years he worked, no matter What else he had for lunch, he always wanted a PB & J (grape) sandwich.
My nutrition teacher (grad school) said a person could live forever on PB sandwiches on whole wheat with whole milk, as long as they were careful in traffic. My husband ate only that for years before we were married. However, he was not careful in traffic and died in a car accident.

For a very fancy PB & J sandwich, add marshmallow Creme!

(I hope you get an A on your project!)

Answer 3

1. Wonder Bread - 2 slices
2. Skippy Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
3. Welch's Grape Jelly

Put the peanut butter on one slice of bread & the jelly on the other. Put them together and cut in half diagonally.

Been doing it this way for many, many years!

Answer 4

Dear Daughter, I was going to answer your question but I'm having my own problem with the bread I have been buying. It is too sweet, therefore a I'm trying to find a bread without sweet in it. I like the Vons (supermarket bakery) Sheepherders bread but you may not be familiar with it. Jif peanut butter and any good quality strawberry jam (your Mother will know what I mean). Best Wishes on a Winning Science Fair Project!!!!

Answer 5

I loooove PB+J's!!

I make them with whole wheat bread (usually just the store brand)

I use JIF peanut butter creamy original on one slice of bread. I use a lot of peanut butter - 2 tbsps maybe-?

I spread Welch's Grape Jam on the other slice of bread, but I only use like a thin layer of jam

Then I put the slices together and cut the sandwich in half the long way, not diagonally.. and thats how I eat my sandwich, and I always have a glass of milk with it, thats the best!

Answer 6

Skippy extra crunchy peanut butter, Welches grape jelly on Home Pride wheat bread. Put about and 1/8 layer of jelly on the piece of bread that will be the top. Wipe any excess jelly onto the bottom piece of bread (to avoid putting jelly in the peanut butter jar). Peanut butter on the bottom, about 3/16 thick. Place jellied piece on top of peanut buttered piece and eat with the jelly on top!!!

P.S. I always leave the crust on (might just be too lazy to cut it off!!!!)

Answer 7

Yum! I use bad-for-you-white-bread (Wonder, Butternut, etc.). Peter Pan smooth peanut butter gets slathered on one piece of bread, edge-to-edge. Then, Welch's grape jelly is placed on top of the peanut butter, but not all the way to the edge. The second piece of bread is slathered edge to edge with more peanut butter. The second piece of bread is placed over the first. The peanut butter around the edges makes a seal to keep the jelly from squirting out the sides.

Answer 8

Yummm, great project!

Using Mrs. Baird's bread, Jiffy Peanut Butter, and Smucker's Red Plum jam:

Spread p.n.b. on one piece of bread taking it ALL the way and over the crust so that children will eat the crust too.

Do the same with the jam. Use lots of jam so you can taste how good it really is.

Close up the sandwich and eat it fast before someone in the family grabs it!

Answer 9

1 slice Iron Kids bread + 1/8 cup creamy Peter Pan Peanut Butter + 1 1/2 tsp honey.
I place the bread on my counter, grab a clean butter knife or spoon and dip it into the peanut butter thus getting peanut butter on the utensil. Next, I slather and spread the peanut butter onto the side of the bread facing up. Next, I squeeze on the honey and mix it around on the peanut butter with my clean index finger until it is thoroughly mixed all over the bread. Then I carefully pick it up (careful not to drop cause I don't want to clean peanut butter off of my floor) and enjoy my peanut butter smile.

Answer 10

Lightly toast the bread first -- it actually holds up better when you slather on the PB&J -- I like a thick coating.
I use regular white bread (toasted), spread Jif Extra Crunchy peanut butter on one side of both pieces of bread, spread Smuckers Strawberry Jam on the peanut butter on one slice, and place the other slice on top, PB sides facing each other, so you've got: Bread, Peanut Butter, Jam, Peanut Butter, Bread.
Slice diagonally and enjoy.

Answer 11

1. Any kind of bread
2. Jiffy Peanut Butter (only)
3. Welch's Grape Jelly

I prepare it two different ways. Fast method....Smear jelly on one side and peanut butter on the other side and put together. NOT my favorite. Second method: get a small bowl, add spoonful of peanut butter and a spoonful of jelly and mix it up good. Then spread on both sides of toast. Yummmm.
