Who Invented the Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB&J) Sandwich?
While the exact origins of the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich remain a mystery, written history points to Julia Davis Chandler as the first recorder of this combination. In 1901, her recipe appeared in the Boston Cooking School Magazine, marking the earliest known reference to the sandwich. While Chandler may not have been the absolute first to enjoy this delightful pairing, her published recipe solidified the peanut butter and jelly sandwich’s place in culinary history.
