Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Fry the bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the crispy bacon onto one slice of bread on top of the peanut butter, then place the second slice of bread on top, peanut butter side down, to form a sandwich.
Spread butter evenly across the outsides of both slices of bread (top and bottom).
Place the prepared sandwich in the preheated skillet, grilling it for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Then flip it over and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.
