Crunchy or creamy, reduced fat or all-natural, and those are just the peanut butter options

If you think you've tried every possible version of PB&J, think again. The peanut butter can be crunchy or creamy, organic or conventional, unsalted or honey-sweetened or reduced-fat or all-natural. The jelly can be the classic Concord grape, or any kind of preserves or all-fruit spread or even chutney. To this combo you can add slices of fresh fruit, raisins, lettuce or celery, chocolate chips or cinnamon. And then there's the bread: sandwich white, whole wheat, sourdough, bagel, pita, flour tortilla or not at all.

Have we made our point? Here are some recipes you'll love:
