Peanut Butter and Jelly Slice

DifficultyIntermediate

I was first introduced to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a work breakfast about 10 years ago, and since then that has been one of my favourite things. It was from a hole-in-the-wall cafe in a hidden laneway in Surry Hills, Sydney, and I’ve tried to capture that exact feeling in this peanut butter and jelly slice. The salty-creaminess of the peanut butter works perfectly with the strawberry jam and simply melts in your mouth. If you’re PB&J lover then you will know exactly what I’m talking about.
