Uncrustables are one of those IYKYK kinds of foods. For years, I was like, why the HELL would I need a premade peanut butter and jelly sandwich?? That takes like five seconds! But then I did a full taste test of all the Uncrustables flavors and it clicked. I can’t stress enough that I truly believe human beings do most things better than machines, but the machines at the Uncrustables factory are NAILING IT. The perfect squishy white bread. The perfect peanut butter-to-jelly ratio and distribution of each. A handsome scalloped seal—I almost never say “no notes” because I typically have at least a note, but (most) Uncrustables are no-notes foods for me.

If you love Uncrustables as much as I clearly do, I have some good news. Smucker’s just quietly released two new flavors: Uncrustables Peanut Butter & Chocolate and Uncrustables Blackberry Boom.
Hey wait, don’t Peanut Butter & Chocolate Uncrustables already exist?
Well, yes and no. Smucker’s currently makes PB Choco Craze Uncrustables, but those are made with peanut butter and a chocolate hazelnut spread (think: their take on Nutella). They also have a variety that’s only filled with a Nutella-style chocolate-hazelnut spread. Neither is quite the same as this new release, which doesn’t have any hazelnut in the mix. It’s probably worth mentioning that the full Christian name of these new Uncrustables is “Peanut Butter & Chocolate Flavored Sandwich Spread,” so not straight-up chocolate but a “chocolate flavored” substance.
The other flavor is more straight-forward. Uncrustables Blackberry Boom are made with peanut butter and a blackberry spread that I’m assuming is seedless. I love the flavor of blackberry jam, but the seeds are kind of annoying.
When and where can I get the new flavors? I’M STARVING FOR A SQUISHY SANDWICH.
According to Candy Hunting on Instagram, both new Uncrustables flavors should be in stores soon, but there are some caveats: Blackberry Boom will be at grocery chains across the country, BUT it’s a limited edition flavor, so you gotta grab it when you see it. The chocolate-peanut butter Uncrustables will only be available at Walmart stores.
Oh and if freezer space has ever kept you from picking up a box of these oversized PB&J ravioli, we’re pleased to report that Uncrustables is updating its whole line so they can be kept in the refrigerator rather than the freezer (although, you can still freeze them if you want to). The new fridge-friendly Uncrustables aren’t rolling out until this summer, but these two new flavors are, in fact, fridge friendly.
