Peanut Butter

It's back to school time and that means packing lunches. My kids get soooooooooo sick of routine or repetitive foods, so I have to vary things up. Thanks to a great sale at Kroger, James brought home 2 CASES of peanut butter. PB&J everyday will NEVER fly in my house, but the kids do love peanut. I have several variations, some tried and true, some new ones to try out on them. So here's a list of things to do with peanut butter. If you have any great suggestions to add, please to so!

1. Traditional peanut butter and jelly
2. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
3. Peanut butter and diced apple sandwiches
4. Peanut butter, banana, and chocolate chip rollups
5. Peanut butter, strawberry preserves, crushed peanuts, banana and strawberry rollups
6. Fluffer Nutters - peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwichs
7. Peanut butter and honey sandwichs, or on toast for breakfast
8. Peanut butter cup sandwichs - peanut butter with chocolate (especially good grilled)
9. Straight peanut butter toast (a fast breakfast fav)
10. Peanut butter balls.... okay, so not really a great lunch option, but an awesome sweet treat!

So, that's my top 10 ideas for using peanut butter this school year. Do you have any to add??
