When my son was born over 13 years ago, I first experienced this. I received this dish from my talented cook brother. It is an easy dish that can be made ahead and refrigerated.

This looks good for a party or snack!! Yum
I modified it to use whole wheat bread, organic peanut butter, and banana slices or strawberry slices for the sweetness. Much more tastier and very healthy!
I dont get it. Tastes just like bread with some peanut butter smeared on it. I was browsing appetizers, and saw this one. Figured my 2 year old would like it, and thinking that if I made it, I might be surprised. But nope, just as I suspected, it was not worthy of following a recipe for.
This was so fun! I did one batch peanut butter and the other batch peanut butter and nutella. I big hit!
My kids loved this! Tried it as written, next time with the nutella…they liked it both ways, but my kids love chocolate, so with nutella was the #1 choice. I will be making again for kids parties! Thanks!
I made this without the butter (too much fat!) and they were excellent. They didn’t last. They kids and myself gobbled them right up.
This was very delicious, but cutting the bread was difficult because it kept falling apart. the towers also got “smushed down” becasue of the cutting.
My three year old is very picky and will not even eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but she ate this! It was very creamy and a nice change. Thanks for sharing!
Try this with Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread) without butter. It is fantastic. I would recommend, for visual effect, to use dark wheat bread alternated with the white. Yummy!
yummy when I made them! Maybe my bread was too soft, because the bottom piece got really flat, but they still tasted great! I made four pieces per sandwich, I think they would of smooshed around too much if I tried 9. They look beautiful and I’m serving them at a tea for pre-teen girls tomorrow!
This is a tasty kid-friendly recipe. My nieces love to be in the kitchen when they’re here, so I usually have several recipes printed up from this site that have been rated for children. They both said that this was two thumbs up material. Thanks for the great idea Marc.
The rating is based on my second grade class’ reaction to it: They LOVED it! They loved making it, though I think for kids just learning to spread, the bread should not be extremely fresh. It rips very easily. The butter should also be very soft. We did not add the sugar but I don’t think it was necessary since we used a commercial brand peanut butter and not a natural one. We cut the towers into quarters instead of ninths. Eveyone really enjoyed eating them since they were slightly different but familiar at the same time.
this was way to rich with peanut butter and butter. But my little brother loved them and liked making them.
its ok, but not my fav.
My kids loved this recipe and it was so quick and easy! I made more layers so the “towers” were higher. Next time I’ll use the fancy toothpicks to hold them together.
