“ Gather Materials: You will need two slices of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly or jam, a plate, and a butter knife or spoon.
Prepare the Bread: Lay two slices of bread side-by-side on a plate.
Spread the Peanut Butter: Use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to spread an even layer of peanut butter (roughly 1–2 tablespoons) onto one slice of bread.
Spread the Jelly: Spread your desired amount of jelly or jam onto the second slice of bread.
Assemble: Flip the peanut butter slice onto the jelly slice so the fillings are touching.
Cut and Serve: You can leave the sandwich whole or cut it in half—either straight across or diagonally.
Pro Tips and Hacks
Prevent Sogginess: If you aren't eating the sandwich right away, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on both slices of bread first, then add the jelly in the middle. The peanut butter acts as a waterproof barrier to keep the jelly from soaking into the bread.
The "Spoon Hack": According to home cooks, using a spoon to scoop and spread can be easier and less likely to tear soft bread than a standard butter knife.
Easy Cleanup: If you only want to use one knife, spread the peanut butter first, wipe the knife clean on the second (dry) slice of bread, and then dip into the jelly”
