Peanut butter and jelly has always been a childhood staple; elevate it to adult fare with this taster from New York Mouth, an online company who is all about local food makers. This PB&J taster is no different: it includes chia seed peanut butter from New York Superfoods (winner of this year's Next Big Small Brand) and jam from Blue Hill at Stone Barns, whose artistic “know thy farmer” label only adds to the small-batch charm. (Mouth Foods calls the latter “fall-on-the-floor-good.” Doesn't that make you want to test the theory?) They even throw in the candy equivalent of a PB&J, which has a peanut praline and raspberry paté de fruit Tumbador Chocolate bar. You’ll have to supply your own bread, but with these ingredients and this technique, you’ll be well on your way to a sandwich fit for kings. Or, at the very least, adults.

About New York Mouth
New York Mouth is a brand-new online store that focuses on delicious, locally made products and promoting sustainability within the independent food maker community. The products they carry exemplify their quirkiness and devotion to small producers, ranging from condiments to beverages to inedible gifts (a category cleverly referred to as “great stuff you can’t chew”). They describe themselves as being “like an indie music store for food.” It’s indie food: delicious, offbeat, and all wrapped up in beautiful packaging.
