Read more for all the details on SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich.

I’ve been so excited to release this series as I’ve been wanting to talk about it for a while!

Did you grow up watching SpongeBob SquarePants? This takes me back to afterschool cartoons! SpongeBob has a special place in my heart which is only fitting that to kick off this series, I start off by recreating SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich!

I got this fun idea from a fellow YouTuber Raeven Leigh. I watched her video on Spaghetti Tacos from ICarly and thought it would be so fun to do a bunch of these on the blog and YouTube.

Essentially, this series is an ongoing series on trying food from TV and Movies! I’m going to be doing this segment on the last Wednesday/Thursday of every month.

This isn’t at all how the recipes actually are but more of my interpretation of what I think that food item would taste like! There are recipes on the internet that basically does this all from scratch and other TV and Movie recipes too but I’m more interested in the overall taste of the food combo.

I had to hunt the internet down for this as I only briefly remembered it then I went into a deep rabbit hole of watching SpongeBob conspiracy theories on YouTube! The talent that people have to deep dive into SpongeBob is crazy!

Here’s the episode to get your brain remembering SpongeBob!

Watch the inspiration behind SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich:

I’m super excited to be recreating the famous Jellyfish Sandwich! While watching this, I remember that the jellyfish jelly seeming like it contained magic! I guess I’ll never know what’s in it to make the citizens of Bikini Bottom go this crazy!

I’m going to admit, I was super iffy about this one and kept wondering what it would taste like but surprisingly it wasn’t too bad!

A burger with grape jelly was definitely interesting BUT I’m not going to put it down because I honestly feel like some people would enjoy this one if it was on the menu at a restaurant. I also feel like kids would most likely be a big fan of this! I’m sure somewhere in the world, there has been a peanut butter and jelly burger! People are so creative now a days and flavor combinations have been wild!

I need to ask… Would you try out a burger with grape jelly?! Let me know in the comments below!

Binging with Babish on YouTube does really intense cooking videos based on TV and Movies too. I highly recommend checking his channel out! The talent and skill that goes into his cooking is amazing.

This recipe is accompanied by a YouTube Tutorial. If you haven’t subscribed to my channel on YouTube, don’t forget to!

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich:

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?

I have to admit, I’ve never really had grape jelly before. I usually have strawberry and raspberry so it was completely new to me! I bought a jar from my local grocery store. I’m not entirely sure if its available in all parts of the world but you can most definitely buy it online! I used Brioche Buns and Ground Beef for the patty in this recipe! We have burger nights all the time and I like to buy the buns from a local bakery.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

The only real part of this recipe that I did myself is the burger patty. I thought the process of baking my own bread and making my own grape jam would just take me the whole entire day and I don’t think I could’ve fit that process in a YouTube video.

For the Beef Patty:

  • Ground Beef
  • Onion Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Minced Onions
  • Salt
  • Pepper

*Brioche Buns and Grape Jelly Bought*

CAN I SUB ANYTHING OUT?

For this recipe specifically, I wouldn’t take out the grape jelly! It would take out the fun in the whole concept of trying out SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich but if you absolutely cannot find grape jelly, then any jam would work! For the buns, you can use whatever burger bun you’d like! Sesame, ciabatta, pretzel, onion buns etc. For the patty, I totally understand that some people have different diets and lifestyles so if beef doesn’t work, no problem, use what you like! I think ground turkey or a veggie patty would work nicely too.

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

The question I’ve been dreading to answer! I really don’t know how to explain what SpongeBob’s Jellyfish Sandwich tastes like. Luckily, grape jelly is quite mild so it’s not strong but I feel like with every bite I took, I was confused haha. Sometimes the jelly taste would be stronger and sweeter then other times, the meat and bun were strong and other times, both tastes together would come out! So, I’d say all the flavors of this came out fighting! It’s something even if you tried, you’d be left confused too but all in all, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

Sweet Jam + Ground Beef + Bread

  3. I watched Spongebob almost religiously as a kid. Every single day after school it was my go to. That show is hysterical and witty in so many ways and I STILL watch it with my kids now. This takes me back! I quote that show on a daily basis. Love this idea and also I really love sweet and savory flavors together. This honestly is kind of like pineapple on a pizza. Which I personally enjoy. I am going to give this a try soon and let you know what I think. Love love love this one!

  4. Haha what a fun recipe idea! You know what, I’d really like to try this. I’m a fan of food combos and like sweet and savory together so this sounds amazing to me haha!

  5. I absolutely love the idea behind this series!! I used to love watching Spongebob after coming home from school too so this is a very needed throwback! The combo sounds very interesting and can’t wait to try it x

  7. I love this idea and have to admit that I’m really intrigued! Not sure if I would try it or not but now I want to try it haha. Great post!

  8. I genuinely love weird food combinations so this could be something that I would try! It looks really well made and I love SpongeBob. Loved this! X

  9. This is such a cute idea. It doesn’t sound like something I’d jump to try, however, I think this whole series/concept is a great idea for parents. We all know that kids can be picky eaters, making it hard to convince them to get the nutrition that they need. The idea that you could recreate meals from their favourite shows would definitely help with that!

  11. Ohh, Spongebob! I used to love watching the series, now I kind of want to watch what I missed. Haha. I love this recipe and definitely curious to try it out, I mean jam x hamburgers?

  12. What a fun idea, and what a creative recipe! I definitely remember this from my childhood and it’s so cool to think I could make this now in my kitchen with a couple simple ingredients! I’m excited to read more recipes in this series!

  13. “Hey all you people, hey all you people, hey all you people won’t you listen to meee! I just had a sandwich, no ordinary sandwich, a sandwich filled with jellyfish jellyyy”

    Can’t wait to try it. Sounds like the best sandwich in the sea!

  15. This is such a creative idea. I never saw SpongeBob but these recipe looks so cool. That is so cool to make a cartoon recipe come to life.

  16. I bet this is a good sandwich. I use grape jelly to make my yearly Christmas meatballs. I may have to give this a try.

  17. I loved Spongebob growing up! And I’m always up to try weird food combos; buuuut I’m not sure about this (mostly because I don’t like Grape jelly, I’d prefer Strawberry or Apricot and idk how that would work with this).

  19. My daughter likes Spongebob & when I first showed her the burger she was like bleh but then I showed her the Spongebob video & now she wants to try it haha
    I’ve had grape jelly before, but never with a burger so it would definitely be interesting to try!

  21. I’m a bit too old for sponge bob, it came out when I was too old for it. Not sure I would try this as I really hate sweet/savoury food combos but I want to try grape jam!

  22. I used to watch spongebob with my little brother as he loved it! I bet this is an interesting thing to try – great recipe xx

  23. This sounds like such an interesting recipe to try. I never watched Spongebob but my little brother loved it. I will maybe need to make these when we are allowed to have people over for dinner.

  25. I probably wouldn’t try this, but it’s a fun idea! My aunt really loves Sponge Bob, and I could see her making something like this for her kids.

  26. I am going to have to try this out, it looks so nice!

  27. Oooh it is always cool when you can remake some cartoon foods in real life. Spongebob is such a throwback! It is interesting to think about putting jelly with a burger. Though, peanut butter with burger? That is definitely new to me too LOL. I typically don’t eat jelly, unless it is in a charcuterie. Love that the recipe is easy going!

  28. I don’t know if I could do it! Although I do love grape jelly, and I do love hamburgers. And someday, I do want to try that Paula Deen recipe I saw one day where she put a hamburger between two donuts and I think she put a fried egg on top of the burger. LOL, I really want to try that! It’s fun to try recipes you’ve seen on TV. And I know it would be even more fun with childhood ones.

  29. This is so fun! I was in college when Spongebob came out, but my little sister was obsessed! This doesn’t actually seem too bad since in the US, some people put grape jelly, barbecue sauce, and meatballs together for an appetizer. I may have to try it! Thanks, Lynn. 🙂

  30. I plan to make sandwich with my family next week. This is perfect time for trying new recipe! Thank you for sharing Lynn x

  31. This is such a fun idea, I kinda feel like I have to try these out during a cook out this summer! Wondering if veggie burgers will make much of a different for the experience??

    Thanks for the inspiration!!
