Ingredients
- White or whole wheat sandwich bread (soft bread preferred)
- Smooth peanut butter (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich)
- Fruit jam or jelly (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich, grape or strawberry recommended)
- Optional: honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
- Plastic wrap or parchment paper for wrapping sandwiches
Instructions
- Lay out slices of bread on a clean surface. For thinner sandwiches, gently press each slice with a rolling pin for about 10 seconds.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of smooth peanut butter evenly on one slice, leaving approximately a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of your chosen jam evenly on the second slice, also leaving the edges clear.
- Place the jam-covered slice on top of the peanut butter slice, matching edges.
- Use a rolling pin to press gently but firmly around the edges 3-4 times to seal the sandwich tightly.
- Use a 3-4 inch round cookie cutter to cut out the sandwich shape, pressing firmly through both slices.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper to lock in freshness.
- Place wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet or tray in a single layer and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Transfer frozen sandwiches to a freezer-safe bag or container for storage, up to 2 months.
Notes
Use smooth peanut butter for better sealing and less leakage. Press edges firmly with a rolling pin to create a tight seal. Freeze sandwiches flat before storing to prevent sticking. Thaw overnight in the fridge or for 30 minutes at room temperature before eating. For nut allergies, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed or soy nut butter and use gluten-free bread if needed.
