Freezer Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

Bread goes really fast at our house, so I like to make a bunch of these and toss into the freezer so that I am not caught unprepared for school lunches on the mornings we unexpectedly run out of bread.
Freezer Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

2 slices bread
1 TBSP. butter, softened (not melted)
2 TBSP. peanut butter
2 tsp. jelly 'or' jam 'or' honey

Spread the softened butter to the edge of each slice of bread in a thin layer. Spread the peanut butter over the butter on one piece of bread but not all the way to the edge. Spread the jelly (or jam or honey) over top of the peanut butter. Top with the second piece of buttered bread, butter side down. Do not cut the sandwich. Place in a sandwich bag, seal, and place in freezer laying flat. When frozen (about an hour) open and let out the remaining air, re-seal and return to the freezer until ready to use. Toss the sandwich straight from the freezer into a lunch bag in the morning and it will be defrosted in time for lunch.
