It’s National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day!

By Alison Graves

It’s America’s favourite sandwich filling, so why not try it and see what we’re missing out on!

To celebrate National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day (jelly is simply jam in the UK) on April 2, the whole family can enjoy the yummy taste and versatility of America’s finest smooth and creamy SKIPPY® Peanut Butter, which is now widely available in the UK and a great source of protein.

SKIPPY® Smooth Peanut Butter simply melts in the mouth, but if you like a bit of texture go for the Extra Crunchy variety which contains large peanut pieces in a deliciously creamy mix. It’s time to grab a jar and celebrate the marriage of peanut butter and jam!

Why not try this classic recipe or add Chipotle to really go the extra mile?
