Step 1: Picking a Peanut Butter

There are so many types of peanut butter out there. There is crunchy and creamy, yes, but brands matter too!

Or if you are looking for an adventurous time, then potato bread will be the best for you. It depends on your taste.

Step 4: Spreading the Peanut Butter and Jelly on the Bread

A good way to figure this out is always put more peanut butter than jelly. Not too much peanut butter because it will make the sandwich taste weird. A good way to figure this out is to is to have a ration of 2:1. Put a knife full of jelly one the first slice of bread, and but two knife fulls on the second slice of bread. This will make the taste sweet but salty.
