Peanut Butter & Jelly Sushi Rolls

Ingredients:

2 slices of bread (you can also try raisin bread)
2 tsp peanut butter (or try sunflower butter for those with allergies)
2 tsp jelly (any flavor works, but you know grape is the best!)

Directions:

1. Remove the bread crust, and flatten the bread with your hand or a rolling pin if the bread is very thick.

2. Spread peanut butter and jelly on each slice of bread.

3. Roll into a tight spiral and cut into 2 inch pieces.

4. Find other fresh ingredients to mimic a sushi plate, like carrot strips, fresh fruit and other garnishes.

Enjoy!
