For Caitlyn Richtman, peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches are an old family recipe that she has perfected. She says its been “almost 10 years doing my art” referring to making her family’s version of the classic sandwich.

Richtman says that one of the keys to this specific recipe is to toast the bread beforehand and to use crunchy peanut butter to make it extra crunchy.  Also, Richtman uses jams as they are thicker than jellies–preferably  grape jam from local farmer’s markets.
