I've learned three things about making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches over the years:
1. Creamy and chunky are both great.
2. They taste terrible with a Diet Coke.
2. Never use Wonder Bread. It tears too easily.
November is National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. Here's a bunch of facts about peanut butter (did you know the average kid will eat 1500 PB&J sandwiches by the time they graduate high school?). Skippy has a bunch of crafts and games for the kids, while Jif has some interesting peanut butter recipes, including Peanut Butter Muffins and Chicken Peanut Mole.
Also check out PeanutButterLovers.com, a site for people who...well, you know, love peanut butter.

Yep only use Jif! And good bread is fresh soft bread,Merita is my top choice. Not too many breads out there that taste like bread. With a little strawberry jelly or any red jelly........ LOL just enough to say its there. Smooth not chunky. Save chunky for recipes@

No, only use peanut butter that has no sugar, and no additives. Jif doesn't make it on that account. Read the ingredients! Gross!

I had unsweetened peanut butter. It tasted like if a peanut pooed.
I don't care how natural it is if it tastes like peanut poo.

Jif Extra Crunchy is the only one for me... Spread thick on a hefty slice of homemade whole wheat bread with some flax seed oil-- *gasp*! Heaven!

Favorite PB sandwhich combination: PB (creamy Jiff), swiss cheese and mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip!). Any bread will do. Try it. Can't stand PB & bananas.
