Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Split Sandwiches

My husband said to me tonight after making these: "This is one of the only desserts I know of that you laugh the whole time you are making them."
They are ooey-gooey- over the top- peanut butter- chocolate -banana splits on grilled Texas toast and dipped in whipped cream. Does it get any better or more fun than this?

 For four sandwiches:

8 slices Texas Toast
3 TBS. butter, softened
4 TBS. creamy peanut butter
4 tsp. mini semisweet chocolate chips
4-6 strawberries thinly sliced
2 bananas, cut in half, and then cut lengthwise into strips (not circles)
4 TBS. pineapple jam or preserves (or pineapple ice cream topping works too)
Whipped Cream

1. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or about 350 degrees.

2. Spread one side of Texas toast with butter (~1/2 tsp.) Turn bread over and spread toast with 1 TBS. peanut butter, followed by 1 TBS. pineapple preserves. Sprinkle preserves with 1 tsp. mini chocolate chips. Top evenly with strawberry slices and then banana slices. Place second piece of Texas toast on top of the sandwich and spread with butter.

3. Cook the sandwich on the griddle or in the pan about 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.

4. Cut into squares or triangles. Serve warm with whipped cream on the side for dipping.
