One of the simplest sandwiches, Peanut Butter & Jelly can be great for a quick snack (as long as you have all the ingredients). All you need is peanut butter, jelly and bread. Believe me when I say, sometimes you can be surprised when you go to make one and find all the ingredients used or just as surprised when you end up having more than one.
The first ingredient in the name is peanut butter. Peanut butter can be crunchy or smooth. There are actually several varieties of peanut butter. Personally, I prefer the original peanut butter, but I don't overly care if it is crunchy or smooth, crunchy is just harder to spread around. I think smooth is more economical, though, because the crunch stacks high and results in using more so it doesn't last as long. At least peanut butter is fairly neat.
The second half of the name is jelly. There are several different kinds of jelly and I've made a few of them. I've made blackberry jelly, I just need to make sure that I leave enough blackberries to make the jelly. After you boil down the blackberries there is a lot less of it, so you need a lot to start with. Making jelly is a fairly simple operation. You know what they say, 'The toast always lands jelly side down.' Jelly can get rather messy.
I would recommend using the cheapest bread you can because between the peanut butter and jelly, it is hard to taste the bread. In this instance, I tend to use white bread or Italian bread.
