- 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons fruit jelly or jam (such as grape, strawberry, or raspberry)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Lay the slices of bread flat on a clean surface to make spreading easier.

- Spread jelly or jam: On the other slice of bread, evenly spread 2 tablespoons of your choice of fruit jelly or jam.
- Assemble the sandwich: Press the two slices together with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing each other to create the classic sandwich.
- Serve: Optionally, slice the sandwich in half diagonally or down the middle for easier handling, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use toasted bread for extra texture and crunch.
- Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly versions.
- Try homemade jam or jelly for a richer, fresher flavor.
