A peanut butter and jelly (or jam) sandwich , or PB & amp; J , including one or more layers of peanut butter and one or more layers of jelly or jam on bread. Sometimes sandwiches are eaten with open faces or with a slice of bread folded (effectively "half bread"). This sandwich is very common and popular in North America, especially for children; a 2002 survey showed the average American would eat 1,500 sandwiches before high school graduation.

There are several variations on the sandwich. For example, honey or sliced ​​fruit can be replaced for jelly components. On the other hand, the popularity of almond butter has inspired some fans to switch to the "almond butter and jelly" sandwich (AB & amp; J). Other peanut butter is less common. Marshmallow fluff can also be replaced with jelly, or just added for extra flavor; This sandwich is called "fluffernutter". Cream cheese, replaced with peanut butter, make cream cheese and jelly sandwich. Nutella is another possible substitute for one of the spreads.

White bread may have been commonplace in the past, but whole wheat bread can be used as a healthier choice. Creamy peanut butter with jelly produces a very fine sandwich, while chunky peanut butter and jams offer plenty of texture. Sandwiches can be served whole or cut. If the sandwich is left to sit, or prepared in the morning for lunch, then the jelly or jam can seep into the bread and make a soggy slice. The solution created by sandwich makers is to use a "barrier strategy", in which a layer of peanut butter on each slice protects the bread from getting wet (see photo for "sandwich preparation").
