2 slices bread

1 slice Cheddar cheese

1 slice ham

1 tablespoon peanut butter

  1. Spread margarine on one side of a slice of bread. Place it, margarine side down, in a cold skillet.

  2. Put the cheese and then the ham on top of the bread.

  3. Spread peanut butter on one side of the other slice of bread. Place it, peanut butter side down, on top of the ham.

  4. Spread margarine on the top of the sandwich.

Date and Nut Roll-Up

(Take these easy treats on a hike for quick energy.)

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 small flour tortilla

3–4 pitted dates

  1. Spread the peanut butter on one side of the tortilla.

  2. Place the dates in a line, end to end, near one side of the tortilla. Starting at the date side, roll up the tortilla and secure it with a toothpick.

1 tablespoon chocolate or fudge sauce

9–12 miniature marshmallows
