The All New PBNJJ

It has been with us for decades. It has become the staple of lunches. Some like it cold. Some like it toasted. It will never die. It will never go away. We will eat it for the rest of our days. It is the PB&J. Yes my friends, the quick and easy meal that all mothers know all too well. The simplistic taste of this sandwich is not enough for our pallets. I mean in this age of people who can text and drive certainly a PB&J should have more exiting flavour, right? Today this problem is solved, and will change your little world. Well maybe.  The answer is the PBNJJ. Yes that’s right the Peanut butter, Nutella, Jet puff, and Jelly sandwich. This is probably nothing new, but making it is just as easily accomplished as the original, and will dazzle your taste buds.

Ingredients & what not:

Before you can start you’ll need some necessary things in order to make your sandwich an experience. 

First, you’ll need three slices of bread, any old bread will do. 

Peanut butter, I recommend Jiff, or Smuckers for a good classic taste. 

Nutella, that great cocoa and hazelnut spread for across the pond. 

Jet-Puff, I recommend Kraft, but if you are strapped for cash Walmart brand will suffice just dandily. 

And last but certainly not least is jelly. 

Now that you have your ingredients you will know need a plate, cutting board, knife, and spreader.

(Note: Knife and spreader are two different things. Spreaders are wider with an oval-ish blade, making for an easier use) Okeydoke, now that you have everything let’s get to work.

How to make:

First take two slices of bread, and place them flat side by side. Then take a table spoon sized globe of peanut butter on your spreader and gently apply to one slice of bread. Next, take the other slice of bread and do the same for the Jet-Puff. Now here is where it gets important, take a teaspoon amount of jelly, and apply to slice with the peanut butter. Be extra gentle. After that get the Nutella and do the same to the Jet-Puffed slice. Now take the slice with the Jet Puff and Nutella on it, and lay it on top of the peanut butter and jelly slice, with the Jet-Puff and Nutella facing upwards. Almost finished, take the third slice of bread, and place it on top of your magnificent sandwich. Not slice, put on plate, and serve!

This is how it should look finished.

Congratulations, you now know how to make a proper PBNJJ! Nothing should go wrong if you follow these steps. However, if you happen to run out of Jet-Puff, Cool Whip makes a great substitute. If you run out of Nutella, then you’re a bad person, and deserve a bad sandwich.

With more practice you can be a PBNJJ whiz, wowing your friends and family with your new found culinary skill. But most of all your tongue will thank you for the delicious whirlwind of sweet goodness you have fed it. No more plain old PB&Js, or tired taste buds. Now go live free, and enjoy food!
