Back to school is almost here, and things are getting real. My daughter is entering middle school, which is a brand new school for her, and it’s been quite hectic getting everything ready. She’s a bit nervous about switching classes, meeting new friends and generally fitting in. I really don’t blame her because sixth grade is a tough year as there are so many changes— though I’m confident she’ll get through it with flying colors. With all this “newness” going on, it’s comforting to have a delicious staple to come home to when the school day is through.
In our home, the classic PB&J is the king of sandwiches — it’s almost like a warm hug; familiar and satisfying! For years my daughter has come home after school and requested a snack. As she’s gotten older the snacks turned into meals, and one of the only things that sustained her until dinner was a PB&J.
Now it’s just a tradition to make a PB&J using Smucker’s Concord Grape jelly and Jif Peanut Butter when she gets home. Smucker’s Concord Grape has been her favorite for as long as I can remember — it’s got a ton of grape flavor with just the right consistency for smooshing with peanut butter.
This year I thought I would kick things up a bit by making her a Double-Decker PB&J. She has a ferocious appetite after school, and if there’s anything that’s going to fill her up it’s this! We made a test sandwich this weekend and, I kid you not, we both agreed it was the best classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich we’ve ever had. Peanut butter + jelly + extra peanut butter & jelly = a match made in heaven!
You probably don’t need a recipe to make a Double-Decker PB&J, but if for some reason you do, here you go—
Double-Decker PB&J
- 3 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons Smucker's Concord Grape Jelly
- 2 tablespoons Jif Peanut Butter
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto slice of bread. Top with 1 tablespoon grape jelly. Repeat with second slice of bread.
-
Layer third slice of bread between PB&J slices.
-
Smoosh and enjoy!
Doesn’t it look delicious? Trust me, it is!
