- Bread Options: Try different bread types such as whole grain, sourdough, or even gluten-free bread for a twist.
- Jelly/Jam Choices: While grape and strawberry are classics, feel free to use any fruit preserves, like raspberry, blueberry, or apricot, for variety.

- Vegan Version: Use a natural peanut butter and vegan-friendly jelly to make it dairy-free and plant-based.
