1. Start by cooking the thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip as needed for even cooking. Once done, remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2. While the bacon cooks, lightly butter one side of each slice of the whole-grain bread.
3. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
4. Spread 1.5 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter evenly on the unbuttered side of the bread sitting in the skillet.
5. Layer the crispy bacon strips evenly over the peanut butter and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey.
6. Spread the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread, and place it on top of the bacon and honey, buttered side facing up.
7. Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to help it brown evenly. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
