There are many different ways that you can make a peanut butter and jelly

sandwich, but in this “how to” tutorial, we will be looking at how to make a standard

peanut butter and jelly sandwich on two pieces of bread. The first step to making a

peanut butter and jelly sandwich is to gather your ingredients. The ingredients you will

need are peanut butter (Crunchy or smooth), jelly (Flavor of choice), two slices of bread

(white or wheat), a plate to eat the sandwich on, and a butter knife. Once you have all of

your ingredients it is time to take two slices of bread out of the bag, and lay them side

by side on the plate. Next you are going to open up the peanut butter and jelly, twist off

each of the lids and remove any seals in order to use the product. Next you are going to

take your butter knife and submerge the end into the jar of peanut butter, then you are

going to evenly spread the peanut butter (1-2tbs) onto one slice of the bread. Next you

are going to take your butter knife (Optional; new butter knife or clean one) and

submerge the end of the knife into the jelly jar, you then will evenly spread the jelly

(1-2tbs) onto the other piece of bread. Now that you have two pieces of bread, one with

peanut butter and the other with jelly you will now combine the two pieces of bread, jelly

and peanut butter sides facing in quickly to avoid a mess! Now that you have your
sandwich, it is time to cut it in half to make it easier to eat. You can either cut it on a

diagonal or in half down the middle. Now that your sandwich is complete it is time to

clean up your workspace. Close the peanut butter and jelly jars, tie up the bread, and

wash your knife. The final step to making a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich is to enjoy

it!
