Treat your ingredients with care...
- Peanut butter — For a smoother and creamier texture, you can warm the peanut butter slightly before spreading it on the bread.
- Bread — Choose a bread that complements the flavors of the sandwich. Whole wheat bread adds a nutty taste, while white bread provides a lighter and softer texture.
Tips & Tricks
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or multigrain, to add extra depth of flavor.
- For a twist, try adding sliced bananas or a sprinkle of cinnamon to your PB&J sandwich.
- If you prefer a warm sandwich, you can lightly toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
- To avoid a soggy sandwich, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on both slices of bread, then add the jelly in the middle.
- For a fun twist, use cookie cutters to create PB&J sandwich shapes.

Presentation advice
To make the sandwich visually appealing, cut it into triangles or squares and arrange them neatly on a plate. You can also dust a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of elegance.
