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.

Oh man I always used to try to convince my mom to make me fluffernutter’s for lunch (read: unhealthiest option allowed). I could go for a few bites of a deep fried one! Great pics.
Thanks Katie!
I’ve never tried it either but it sounds delicious! Bad for the hips but so good!
Yes, true!! Thanks Tonia!
I’ve never had one either. The whole ground up rice krispies was genius, by the way. Genius.
Oh, and FYI, we’ve got beets AND kale on this week’s menu. Mmmmmmmm. :o)
I have never in my life even heard of a Fluffernutters!!! Why now when I’m trying to lose a few lbs!!! LOL. Looks super. I wonder if adding some Nutella would be worth the try for chocolate addicts like me??????
Yes!!! My mouth is watering thinking of it. I must try that!
LOl, I’m with Kristen, my sentiments exactly. I wouldn’t eat deep fried butter, but yeah, this sandwich, minus the banana would be right up my alley! And I think the crushed rice crispies would be better than the Panko crumbs anyway, good choice!
