I was never really a fan of peanut butter until I visited the States about 10 years ago. I knew that the Americans loved their PB&J sandwiches but I had no idea how much they were part of the culture. I become hooked and now a peanut butter sandwich is one of my favourite things to eat. I think it’s the combination of sweet and salty that I really love and I’m also a huge fan of Reece’s Pieces now (which you can buy almost everywhere in the UK). I do like to chop and change the flavours though so here are some of my favourite PB combinations
- PB and banana – the old classic, brilliant on brown or white bread with the banana either sliced or mushed in to the PB with a fork. Good toasted too.
- Fried PB and banana – as above but lightly fried in butter before serving
- PB and fresh peach – ideally you need to eat soon after making as the peach will start to go brown the longer it’s left
- PB and Nutella – to die for
- PB and honey – yummy
- PB and golden syrup – really sweet but very moreish
- PB and marmite – super sweet and salty
- PB and ready salted crips – messy but soooo nice
Funnily enough, peanut butter and jam is the one combination that I really can’t stand.
