Preparing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is not rocket science. But that still doesn’t mean you are not making mistakes that might prevent you from enjoying PB&J at its best. Check out some of the more common ones that you definitely want to avoid making.
Getting Too Fancy With the Bread
You can experiment with different types of bread, but to get the best PB&J experience, plain white soft bread is all you need. If you opt for rustic types of bread, the peanut butter and jelly combo won’t be allowed to shine.
Not Putting Peanut Butter on Both Sides
It makes sense to spread peanut butter on one piece of the bread and the jelly on the other. However, you should actually put peanut butter on both sides and then add jelly to one of the sides. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Not Using the Right Jelly
The kind of jelly you use can really make or break your peanut butter sandwich. Skip the generic and sugar-packed store-bought jelly and instead opt for homemade jelly. Grape and strawberry should be your top picks.
Eating Cold PB&Js
Warming up your PB&J will make all the difference. The peanut butter and jelly mix up better and become gooey, resulting in an amazing experience.
