Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 slices Sandwich bread
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Fruit jelly or jam
- 16 pieces Plastic wrap or freezer-safe bags
Instructions
Lay out all 16 slices of bread on a clean, flat surface, forming 8 pairs for sandwiches.
Spread roughly 1 tablespoon (or more, as desired) of peanut butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread.
On one slice of bread from each pair, spread about 1 to 2 teaspoons of jelly or jam on top of the peanut butter. Avoid spreading jelly all the way to the edges to prevent leaks during freezing.
Place the second slice of bread from each pair, peanut butter side down, on top of the jelly-covered slice to form a sandwich.
Press the edges of the sandwich lightly to seal them if possible, particularly to keep the jelly from spilling out.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or place it into a freezer-safe bag. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn.
Label the plastic wraps or freezer-safe bags with the date and the contents (e.g., ‘PB&J Sandwich’) for future reference.
Place all wrapped sandwiches into the freezer and lay them flat so they freeze evenly.
To serve, remove a sandwich from the freezer and thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place in a lunchbox in the morning to be ready to eat by lunchtime.
