The peanut butter and brown sugar sandwich!

My poor, dear friends. I feel so sorry for you all, that you have lived this many years without knowing the glory, the inexpressible joy, of a Peanut Butter and Brown Sugar sandwich. Well, your search for the perfect food is over.



No longer will after-school snacks be dull. Never again will you need to wonder what to have when you are craving a midnight snack. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. This unassuming little sandwich will satisfy, no matter what the occassion.


Step 1: Take out a slice of bread. One of the great things about the Peanut Butter and Brown Sugar sandwich is that it tastes equally fabulous on whole wheat or white bread (unlike the lesser pb&j sandwich, which is pretty yucky on wheat bread.) Spread your bread slice with a thin layer of peanut butter.




Step 2: Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the peanut butter. Use your fingers to sort of pat it into the pb and push it to the edges.




Step 3: Place the other piece of bread on top and give it a little smoosh. Some people only use the one piece of bread and then fold it like a taco so none of the brown sugar falls out. Proper smooshing technique should keep this from happening in the two piece method.


Or you can cut it into triangles. My sister and I have always known the bliss of eating this sandwich...I don't know who taught it to our mother....but it is a wonderful thing. Don't turn up your noses until you've tried it.

There isn't a proper wine that goes with this sandwich...I prefer milk.

I thought I was the only one, my aunt made these for me as a kid. I put peanut butter on both slices and will sometimes use pancakes instead of bread.
