What a Great Day for a PB & J!

Here at NutsOnline, there’s nothing we love more than salty, sweet, nutty peanut butter. Well, maybe there’s one thing we love more: combining that peanut butter with a dollop of fresh fruit jelly.

We’re in luck! Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, and we are ready to celebrate this classic duo! What about you?

You can, of course, start by making a basic peanut butter and jelly sandwich on your favorite bread. Smear a couple tablespoons of organic smooth peanut butter or organic crunchy peanut butter onto a slice, then top it with  strawberry jam. Simple, delicious, and popular with kids and adults alike!

Try sandwiching the spreads between vanilla or chocolate cookies for a simple dessert. If you’re up for a greater challenge, a rich peanut butter and jelly sundae may be just the way to celebrate today.

Slightly soften a pint of vanilla ice cream. Fold 1/4 cup of jelly to the ice cream so that it’s evenly swirled throughout. Transfer the ice cream mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least two hours.

Combine 1 tbsp. honey, 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup of half and half in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then remove it from the burner. Add 3/4 cup of peanut butter and stir the sauce until the peanut butter melts. Scoop the ice cream into bowls and drizzle it with the warm peanut butter topping. Enjoy!
