How long will a peanut butter sandwich last?
So, I made a peanut butter sandwich the other day but forgot about it and left it (wrapped in gladwrap) out in room temperature for 6 hours. (Brioche bun as the bread, peanut butter and butter) and I was wondering if it would be ok to eat as I ate it anyways.
Best Answer
Generally, peanut butter has a fairly good shelf life. Putting it on bread doesn't change that.
Ordinary salted butter should also be alright for a day or two, as long as it wasn't in direct sunlight or high moisture or anything like that.
Most importantly, both butter and peanut butter will not spoil in a way that goes unnoticed. They will smell or feel wrong very obviously.
Disclaimer: This is not restaurant level hygiene advice, and probably contradicts public-health guidelines. It's certainly good enough for your own sandwiches though.

Jelly is good indefinitely refrigerated; so is bread; so is PB...so doing the prep does not create a health hazard. BTW...you can see many small shops that sell lots of pre-made/refrigerated sandwiches that have a 7 day shelf-life.Can you make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ahead of time?
How far ahead can you make the sandwiches? These are great to make the night before, or they are so quick to put together in the morning to take to work or school. If you want to make them further ahead of time, keep them covered and refrigerated and consider toasting the bread.THIS \
