What is a grilled peanut butter and jelly? It’s a regular peanut butter and jelly sandwich that is buttered on the outside bread and griddle grilled to a golden-brown crust.
The inside filling gets all melty warm and oozies out as you are eating it. If you’ve not tried this before then please give this grilled peanut butter jelly sandwich a try.
Once you bite into the sweet, gooey Peanut Butter sandwich, you won’t ever eat a normal PB and J again! Before having this griddle grilled sandwich, I asked, why would anyone want a warm griddle peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
But after having one, I now know why they are so popular. The combination of the melting ingredients along with the crispy outer shell is what makes this sandwich taste so unbelievably good!!
I find peanut butter jelly sandwiches hard to match. It makes sense that this sandwich is one of our childhood staples. It is simple to prepare, tastes amazing and provides some protein.

Tips for the Best Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
Use the ingredients you like best. Such as, if you like whole wheat bread instead of white bread, then use what you like. I like soft white bread that is semi thick.
Try brioche bread for an extra decadent twist. Jam, fruit preserves and even fresh fruits can serve this sandwich as well.
Raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or blueberry jam or jelly all will work. I like to make my own strawberry rhubarb jam.
Use your favorite peanut butter. My favorite peanut butter is Jif Peanut Butter.
When spreading the butter onto the bread, make sure to add a thin even layer. Not too thick and not too thin!!
Ingredients for Grilled PB & J
This Grilled PB & J recipe is very simple. Those interested in experimenting with flavors or ingredients, I have some suggestions below.
- Two slices of bread – Use your favorite bread.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – I prefer Jif!!

- Butter – softened
How to Make Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly
Gather all your ingredients to make the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium low to medium heat. If using an Electric Blackstone Griddle, set the temperature to 400°F.

Flip both slices of the bread over and spread peanut butter on that side.
On one slice of the peanut buttered bread, add the jelly/jam of your choice and spread evenly.
Put the sandwich recipe together by placing the peanut butter and jelly sides together so that the buttered side of the bread is on the outside.

Griddle grill the second side of the sandwich until that side is crispy golden brown. Be careful handling the griddle sandwich as the filling is going to want to ooze out the sides.
Warm peanut butter on this grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich is delicious and tastes good. Remove the griddle grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich and place on a serving plate.

Cook the buttered bread slices as you would for the flat top griddle. Cool slightly and serve immediately.
Grilled P B and J – Add Ins
If you make a lot of pb and j sandwiches like I do, then you might want to mix up the ingredients a little bit. Try one or more of the following!!
- Bacon
- Jalapeno
- Crunchy Peanut Butter
- Honey instead of Jelly or Jam
- Substitute Nutella in place of the peanut butter.
- Add a layer of thin slices of banana to your sandwich.
- Use a different nut butter such as almond butter.
- Place a layer of marshmallow fluff.
How to Store Griddle Sandwich
Griddle PB&J is best when eaten warm right off the Blackstone flat top griddle. Store any of the uneaten sandwich pieces in a tightly closed Ziplock bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Reheat them in a nonstick frying pan or on the Blackstone Griddle. These sandwiches can also be eaten cold.
