Classic Crustless PB&J Bites
Ingredients
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened, for spreading
Instructions

Lay out the slices of bread on a clean work surface. Using a butter knife or small offset spatula, lightly spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Take four of the buttered bread slices. On the unbuttered side of these four slices, spread an even layer of creamy peanut butter, extending almost to the edges.

On the unbuttered side of the remaining four bread slices, spread an even layer of strawberry jam, also extending almost to the edges.
⏱️ 3 min

Carefully place one jam-covered slice on top of one peanut butter-covered slice, with the buttered sides facing outwards. Gently press down to secure the two halves together.

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the crusts from all four assembled sandwiches. Discard the crusts or save them for another use.
⏱️ 2 min

Cut each crustless sandwich into four equal squares or triangles. Alternatively, use a small cookie cutter (like a star or circle) to create fun shapes for the bites.
