Growing up I used to love uncrustables. Recently we went on a road trip and I re-discovered them and became hooked on them again. I love how easy they are as a grab and go lunch and how mess-free they are for my toddler.
Homemade uncrustables are so incredibly easy to make and are made at a fraction of the cost of store bought versions. These are great for camping, road trips, and to pack for school lunches.
Equipment
- Sandwich cutter and sealer
- Saran wrap (for freezing)
- Freezer bags (for freezing)
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup jelly
- 10 slices of bread
How to Make Homemade Uncrustables
- Spread peanut butter and jelly in the center of a slice of bread.
- Place another slice of bread on top.
- Push the larger uncrustable cutter (the crust remover) through the sandwich. Remove crust.
- Push the sealer in the middle of the larger circle. Push down to seal.
- Remove the uncrustable cutter and sealer and enjoy!
What Do I Do With Extra Bread?
After taking off the crust of the uncrustable, you can use the extra bread in other dishes! A few of my favorite recipes using extra bread are Lauren's Baked French Toast Casserole and Lisa's Homemade Crouton recipe.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Uncrustables are great frozen! To freeze, wrap tightly in saran wrap and then place in an airtight freezer bag. Freeze for up to 6 months. To defrost, take out to the freezer 5-6 hours before serving.
- Frozen uncrustables are great for school lunches! Take directly from freezer and put in a lunch box and it'll defrost in time for lunch.
- This recipe is customizable and can be used to make a variety of uncrustables. My favorites are peanut butter and nutella, tuna fish sandwiches, and ham and cheese.
