recipe tips


Try different types of nut butter like almond or cashew.

For a fun variation, swap the bread with graham crackers or use it as a dip for apple slices.

Try grilling your Fluffernutter sandwich for a warm, gooey treat.

If you're making a large batch, use a stand mixer to combine the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff for a more even spread.

Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.

tools needed


Butter Knife: Helpful for spreading the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff evenly onto the bread slices without making a mess.

Cutting Board: To provide a stable surface for assembling and cutting the Fluffernutter sandwich.

Sandwich Knife or Chef's Knife: For cutting the sandwich in half for easy handling, if desired.

Plate: A must-have for serving your Fluffernutter sandwich, because let's face it, eating a sandwich directly off the cutting board is just uncivilized.

what goes with it?


Bacon: Because let's face it, adding bacon makes everything better. The salty, savory flavor of bacon would add a nice crunch to the sweet and sticky Fluffernutter.

Honeycrisp Apples: Slicing up some Honeycrisp apples to enjoy on the side would provide a nice crisp freshness to balance out the rich and decadent Fluffernutter. Plus, the combination of peanut butter and apples is always a winner.

Chili Pepper Flakes: For those who like a little heat with their sweet, adding chili pepper flakes to the sandwich would create a flavor that's unexpected and delicious.
