I literally have it every day for lunch. Maybe because I am too lazy to make anything else.

Skippy Natural Smooth Peanut Butter [because it doesn't contain rapeseed/canola oil] and raspberry or strawberry jam/preserves [never jelly] on either whole wheat or white bread.


Sometimes Skippy Natural PB & Fluff [must be genuine Fluff, not marshmallow creme junk] only on un-toasted white bread. A Fluffernutter craving can only be sated with the real deal.

Oh, you need Fluff Fluff Fluff to make a Fluffernutter

Marshmallow Fluff and lots of peanut butter

First you spread spread spread your bread with peanut butter

Add Marshmallow Fluff and have a Fluffernutter

When you enjoy-joy-joy your Fluff and peanut butter

You’re glad you have enough for another Fluffernutter.

I honestly do not know the difference between jelly and jam. They are one and the same to me.
its pretty simple, really.

Jam uses whole or part of the fruit and is set with pectin.

Jelly uses just the juice of the fruit in a pectin based gel.

and then there is marmalade.

I had that for the first time last week. I gotta admit, it was quite good. Has to be on the most generic white bread, too. No "white wheat" or "hearty white" or anything like that. Just store brand "White Bread."

All Natural myself, used to do JIF but too much sugar.

Haven't had Goober or Fluff since I was young, used to love both.

I make what I call "goopy toast",(you need a toaster oven for this), toast bread then butter or margarine, then a slab-layer of natural or PP smooth and return to oven for 60seconds, remove, then slather on another layer of strawberry jam, cut in half, bring lot's of napkins!..

Nothing but roasted peanuts and salt in my PB anymore. I make my own jams, usually grind my own PB. Made a batch of apricot pineapple jam the other day.

I don't put pectin in my jams, so maybe they are properly called preserves. I never make jelly. Don't particularly care for marmalade.

So long as it's on some decent bread and not too dry. Crunchy FTW, but smooth works too if in a pinch. And not too much jelly/jam. I like to taste the PB.

LIKE it? Not really.

I'll eat a PB&J from time to time...but not very often.

(I'm also in the preserves or jam >>> jelly camp)

Oh...Skippy creamy for PB&J sammiches. None of the super chunky stuff please...save that for peanut butter cookies.

Yep, must be on plain ol' soft white bread.

Tastes even better when you sing the jingle while making and/or eating your Fluffernutter sandwich. ;)

Pb & Chantain black raspberry or strawberry preserves.

Black Raspberry the good stuff in my book. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

My aunt used to have a place up north that had the Bee Tree and were Black Rasperries all around it.

We'd have everyone all day walking around it with 5 gallon buckets picking and snacking here and there when they were ripe, then wash em off and they would make Preserves.

That and freeze some, a good blackberry cobbler is freaking fantastic in my book too.

Meh, not a fan of peanut butter. I can probably count on one hand, maybe two, the number of PB&J sandwiches I've had in my 31 years.

I don't think I've ever had PB&J and I never will. I always thought they looked disgusting when others brought them to school. Maybe the look OK "fresh" but after they've been sitting around a couple hours and the jelly had soaked into the bread, looking at them made me want to vomit.
I do eat PB and marshmallows, in fact I'm about to eat that for lunch in about 1 minute. However, I don't really like it that much but I am too lazy to do anything else for lumch.
