You should have mentioned you didn't use peanut butter! You can't
expect a "nut butter" (maybe tell us what kind? Almond? what?) with
jelly or jam to taste like your 75 year old memory of PB&J. It's not
peanut butter! The kind of bread you used would also come into play.

Then again, it's entirely possible you just don't like the sandwich
anymore. <shrug>
