      My father did this when I was growing up all the time

      When we had field trips in early grade school, this is how they served the supplied PB&J’s. I guess it kept the jelly from soaking into the bread while the sandwiches sat in a cooler for 4 hours.

        That not really meant for sandwiches though. That’s meant for eating straight out of the jar with a dirty spoon at 4am while your standing in the kitchen in your underwear.

        Or so I’ve heard

          Will do. It’s been a while since I’ve felt like pb&j, but I’ll try to remember to report back when I get around to trying it.

          Felt like getting a snack, so I decided to try it with a bagel. Didn’t really notice a huge difference in taste, however it was significantly easier to spread. Another benefit from mixing the two is that you can spread it on toast, a bagel, etc, even if you only have a single slice, without contaminating the peanut butter or jelly/jam/preserves jar. The downside is that you have additional dishes to wash (in particular, a bowl and two spoons, one for peanut butter, the other for jelly).

          My conclusion is that it’s technically superior (easier to spread, can be spread on a single slice of bread). Only downside is that additional cleanup is required. As such, not a great method if you’re in a time crunch and don’t have the time to mix the pb&j and wash additional dishes. However, if time isn’t a problem and you want a snack, try mixing pb&j.
