Ultimate P,B,and J

I learned to make this at a restaraunt that I worked in about a million years ago,it was one of the most popular menu items and I've never forgotten it.
My kids eyes actually glazed over when I gave it to them.

2 pieces large country white bread
peanut butter
strawberry jam
2 tsp crushed peanuts
3 strawberries,sliced

spread one piece of bread with peanut butter,sprinle peanuts on top
spread jam on other piece and layer with strawberries
slap together and eat

One of the guys I worked with would take the sandwich and grill it on the grill with a slice of butter,I never tried it like that but I'm thinking it might be illegal.
