Ingredients
- Soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- Jelly or jam (grape or strawberry recommended)
- Butter or margarine (optional, for grilling)
Instructions
- Remove crusts from sandwich bread slices using a sharp knife.
- Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each bread slice to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter on half of the bread slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of jelly on top of the peanut butter, spreading evenly but not too close to the edges.
- Place the remaining bread slices over the filled ones and press down gently to stick them together.
- Use a round cookie cutter (3 to 4 inches diameter) to cut out round sandwiches, pressing firmly to seal the edges.
- Arrange the sealed sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Transfer frozen sandwiches to airtight freezer bags or containers, separating layers with parchment paper if stacking, and label with the date.
Notes
Do not overfill the sandwiches to prevent leaks. Press firmly when sealing edges. Use fresh, soft bread to avoid tearing. Freeze sandwiches individually on a tray before storing to prevent sticking. For a grilled effect, brush outside with melted butter before reheating.
