This classic Fluffernutter is an amazing sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. This delicious sandwich has been popular for over 100 years and can you see why? Skip a peanut butter and jelly sandwich – make a fluffernutter instead!
New England Fluffernutter Sandwich
Easy to make sandwiches have always been my favorite. I would always throw them in my daughter’s lunch because she liked them and it made things easier for me. This recipe really is super simple – is it even a recipe?
This retro concept of fluffernutter is originally a New England thing that originated in Massachusetts. Its popularity only grew from there – it’s better than using jam or honey. You might think fluff would have too much sugar but – jelly and honey are basically the same. In my opinion marshmallow creme is the epic pairing with peanut butter.
Ingredients & Variations
- Marshmallow Fluff: Also called Marshmallow Creme or Cream, sold near the marshmallows.
- Peanut Butter: Use any kind of peanut butter that you like best for this recipe – shelf stable or natural, creamy or chunky.
- Bread: Your favorite bread is a great choice for these sandwiches. I use typical white bread, but whatever you gravitate towards most is fine too, even gluten-free.
- Extras: Turn this into an Elvis sandwich by adding some sliced bananas!
How to make a Fluffernutter
- Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread.
- Spread marshmallow cream on the other slice. Sandwich the two together.
- Slice and eat immediately or wrap well in plastic wrap to store.
Expert Tips
- Add any extra filling or topping you’d like to have on these sandwiches! This can be strawberry jam or jelly, banana slices, or other fruit slices like.
- I used creamy peanut butter, but you can use any kind of peanut butter you like, chunky would be fabulous. Or use Nutella!
- You can even toast the bread for a bit of crunch.

The first time I had a fluffernutter was in 3rd grade and I have enjoyed ever since. Maybe next time instead of deep frying try one with french toast batter its really good especially if you want something for breakfast.
That sounds amazing!
I just ate breakfast… but I really wish I made this instead! Looks divine!
LOL! Thanks Shannon!
Ummmm I think I may need a midnight snack! OMG sounds so wonderful!!
Sounds good to me! Thanks Jessi!
I bet these are heavenly! I’m a huge fluffernutter fan (sans banana though) and like Nicole above, I think I might try these grilled instead of fried but I love the idea of them being hot and crispy!
