Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwich

This sounds a bit odd but, trust me, it is wonderful! You can use other types of pickles if you wish. I've heard of people who use Kosher dills. Personally, I find the sweet-tart flavor of sweet gerkins blend beautifully with the peanut butter. This recipe can easily be multiplied.

Just made this for lunch and it was a first time for me also. Never would have thought to put the two together. I used whole wheat, chunky p.b. and Clausson kosher dill spears. I will definitely keep this in my lunch rotation. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new and unique sandwich for me.

    I too, have been eating these since I was a youngster (47 now). To make it 5 stars, you have to try it with mayonnaise (Miracle Whip is legal too)! C'mon, you're already eating something 99% of the rest of the world probably wont...so go ahead & try a little mayo! Thanks for posting...I thought my Grandpa Gump was the only one to ever eat this!

    There are others out there? I love these, but everyone thinks it sounds gross. I have been eating dill pickles with peanutbutter since I was a kid. Yummy.

    Well, unlike some of these other people here, I didn't grow up on these. My parents would think it's gross, haha. But I tried this just now and it's awesome. I used toasted white bread (it's all I have right now), but I'm dying to try it on toasted homemade wheat bread! I use Crazy Richards natural peanut butter, which to me tastes better than any other kind. It's not as thick and dry as other pb, and there's no sugar(yet it has lots of flavor), so it works with more recipes. And I used Vlasic Stackers bread and butter pickles for this, and it was good. And it's so darn easy. Everybody should try this at least once. This will be a regular for me from now on!
