A bag of chips running low, an empty jelly jar, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. That’s all it took for Jeff Daniels to accidentally invent the sandwich that has grocery stores scrambling to restock their shelves.
The actor’s wild creation — a pita layered with creamy peanut butter, crushed Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream chips, and barbecue sauce — went viral after he dropped the recipe on national television.
And people everywhere have been racing to their kitchens to try it.
