Lunchables expands its kid-loved and parent-approved offerings with the debut of new Lunchables PB&J: the first-ever dippable, no-thaw crustless PB&J. The new product gives kids the freedom to enjoy a PB&J exactly how they like it. Lunchables PB&J, a “remix” of a beloved lunchtime staple, includes two deliciously creamy, crustless peanut butter sandwiches per pack, complete with a side of delicious grape or strawberry flavored dip—perfectly crafted for optimal dipping and with no artificial colors.

 “The launch of Lunchables PB&J is a continuation in our mission to reinvent the refrigerated category by providing high quality, delicious, affordable and convenient solutions for snack time and beyond,” said Danni Levin, associate director of innovation, Lunchables. “We’re remixing a classic, delivering on parents’ desire for convenience and kids’ love of dipping and customizing – PB&Js will never be the same!”

Beyond equipping kids with the independence to customize, Lunchables PB&J also solves the number one pain point for parents: thaw time. Current PB&J category offerings are frozen, which require 30-60 minutes of thaw time before serving. Now, Lunchables is tackling this frustration head-on with the first-ever no-thaw, crustless PB&J that’s ready-to-eat straight from the refrigerator for any time hunger strikes. 

The debut of Lunchables PB&J reinforces the brand’s commitment to making bigger, more intentional bets to fuel growth and create new experiences for consumers. The innovation grows Lunchables’ presence in the sandwich category, following the brand’s first entrance with the debut of Grilled Cheesies in 2023. The launch of PB&J enables Lunchables to bring a convenient, kid-loved offering to the refrigerated section and reflects Kraft Heinz’s broader ambition to drive $2 billion in incremental sales through innovation by 2027.

Lunchables PB&J is rolling out to select retailers nationwide for $2.49/pack.
