I wound up using an empanada press, and it worked fine – I used it for my breakfast empanadas and figured this would do the trick for this idea.

But you may also have luck with an an actual sandwich press. Either one will for without a doubt.

Make sure your oil temp is ready before you begin frying. I made the mistake of not checking before my first test, and the fried peanut butter and jelly, because an oil-logged peanut butter and jelly

I’d shoot for a temperature for 350-400F for your oil. cooking oil, or even something like peanut oil will do perfectly for this.

We’re not frying these long. If your oil is up to temp, it’s going to take a 1-2 minutes MAX.

I didn’t use enough oil to fully coat the PB&J, so I needed to flip half way.

But if you have one of those counter top deep fryers – I bet you’ll be done in 60 seconds.

What’s awesome about this it it keeps the crispiness even when cold – it’s the perfect make ahead recipe.

If you want to spoil the kids for lunch on their first day of school, these fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is a great way to do that !
