Peanut butter and jelly, or PB&J, is a type of sandwich popular in North America.
In the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, peanut butter is spread on a slice of bread and then topped with jelly (jam) before finishing it off with another slice of bread. Alternatively, the top piece of bread can be skipped and the sandwich either eaten as on open sandwich or with the one slice simply folded over.
The idea of combining peanut butter with other foods in sandwiches has been around for as long as peanut butter itself. The first mention of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich came at the beginning of the 20th century. Now you can buy sealed crustless peanut butter sandwiches that can be kept on the shelf for some time.
In what may come as a surprise, PB&J sandwiches are actually quite a healthy snack.
