You can certainly use any type of bread you desire. There are many different options!

Now it's time for the peanut butter!

For this sandwich, we are using creamy peanut butter. But of course, there is crunchy peanut butter and smooth (another fancy name for creamy) peanut butter.

Spread the Peanut Butter

Make sure you get the evenly-sized bread covered with your peanut butter of choice.

Make sure to get all angles of the bread

It's all in the wrist.

Before moving on to the jelly, don't forget to clean your knife!

You wouldn't want to get your peanut butter inside your jelly jar.

Use a gentle wrist motion

In this case, we're using Strawberry Preserves, a jelly-like substance

Get an even distribution of the jelly

A fairly, even distribution of preserve chunks. You can use your spreading knife to cut the preserve chunks.

The moment we've all been waiting for...

Time to close your peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Traditionally, this meal is eaten closed!

cover the other piece of bread with it.

Are we done yet?

The bread will not fight back.

You can either cut it in half diagonal or straight down the line of the sandwich. Grab both sides of the bread and press in very lightly. Carve into it real easily.

You now have two halves with which to eat your sandwich

Instead of eating it as one giant conglomerate of peanut butter and jelly.
