There’s no right or wrong way to eat your nut butter, but sometimes spreading on plain old bread gets a bit boring. Here’s a suggestion for you to integrate them into a fun, unexpected sandwich. It is also a free pass for you to buy an extra jar of nut butter on your next trip to the grocery store.
