Yes, I tell you this can be done and NOT be soggy when defrosted! I have been having my students make these for years now....nothing new....so I was surprised that it was not listed on Zaar! Cooking time is actually freezing time.

Steps:
- Spread soften butter over inside of each bread slice. Cover to edges. This does not have to be thick.
- Spread peanut butter over the butter but NOT all the way to the edge.
- Spread jelly over the peanut butter.
- Close sandwich. Do not cut!
- Place into a sandwich bag. Close, place flat in freezer.
- When frozen, (about one hour) remove from freezer, open small part of bag and squeeze out air. Reseal.
- Place sandwich bag in a freezer bag, squeeze out air and return to freezer.
- These sandwiches can remain frozen for some time. I have had then after four month and they tasted as good as freshly made.
- My students usually make ten at a time. They pop them in their bags and it is defrosted by lunchtime!

My kids love uncrustables but I think they are too expensive. So I started making my own. I don't cut the crust off mine but it's the same concept. I make these during my OAMC session.

Tips:
- Choose a quality peanut butter and jelly that you enjoy the taste of and that is spreadable when frozen.
- Use fresh bread that is soft and fluffy. Avoid using bread that is too dry or crumbly, as it will not hold up well in the freezer.
- If you are using a traditional loaf of bread, cut the crusts off before assembling the sandwiches. This will make them easier to eat when frozen.
- Spread the peanut butter and jelly evenly on the bread, all the way to the edges. This will help to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.
- Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze the sandwiches for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will allow them to firm up and become easy to pack in a lunch bag.
- When you are ready to eat a sandwich, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes. You can also microwave it on a low setting for a few seconds, if desired.
