Jordyn boyer and her winning sandwich

I didn’t even know there was a Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich contest. But, it is a good thing for Jordyn Boyer that she not only knew about the contest, she entered and won it! By winning the Jif®  seventh annual Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich contest Boyer pocketed an amazing $25,000 scholarship.

The five young finalists made their sandwiches in New York City where the PA elementary student’s creation took top honors. All five received a Jif® gift basket, and the four runners-up each received a $2, 5000 scholarship fund. Here is Jordyn Boyer’s winning peanut butter sandwich recipe:
