31 Incredibly Tasty Ways to Enjoy Peanut Butter and Jelly

Peanut Butter and Jelly

It appears that the original PB&J treat actually came to be out of an almost desperation from soldiers for a new flavor.

During WWII, American soldiers combined their rations of bread, peanut butter and jelly, to create the new, easy-to-make, treat.

Once they returned to the states after the war, the concept caught on and sales of both peanut butter and jelly began to soar.

Nowadays, it is pretty much a staple in most homes.
