How to Make Toasted Peanut Butter and Jelly

A great twist on a classic, toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are so delicious that you may never want to eat a cold PB&J again. The slightly crunchy outer edge combined with the warm gooeyness within makes you feel like you reach a wonderfully sticky heaven every time you take a bite.

Things You'll Need

• 2 slices of bread
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Knife or spoon for spreading
• Toaster oven or regular oven

Instructions

1. Preheat your toaster oven (or regular oven) to 350 degrees.

2. Place your bread slices on a flat surface. Spread peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other. Put the gooey ends together.

3. Open your oven and place the sandwich on the rack. Close the door and keep a close watch on your sandwich so it toasts only as dark as you like it. This should only take a minute or two.

4. Remove your sandwich from the oven, let it cool for a few seconds, and dig in to the ooey-gooey wonderfulness of a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use a regular toaster, too. Toast the bread first, then add the peanut butter and jelly. The insides of the sandwich aren't as warm, but you still have that wonderful crunch to look forward to. You can even put it on the grill if you don't feel like eating hamburgers at a cook out.

• Another variation is to make your sandwich, then put it in the microwave for a few seconds. The bread will not be crunchy, but your PB&J will be nice and warm.

• Add other ingredients to your peanut butter and jelly sandwich before you toast it, like bananas or cream cheese.
