Make sure you have all your vaccinations.
Well, no worries there. I work in Urgent Care and have been vaccinated to the hilt for the past three years.
I ate PB&J sandwiches to school for lunch every day from first to seventh grade. I still eat some variation several times per week, although I’ve cut down and made some modifications because I’m diabetic.
This morning I had Santa Cruz crunchy peanut butter on Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart cinnamon bread with Polaner zero sugar preserves.
When I feel fancy, I use Nuttzo, which is spread made with multiple kinds of nuts. I also use Chia Smash, made from dates and whatever flavor fruit.
That may very well be a delicious sandwich, but in my view, it’s not a fluffernutter. A fluffernutter HAS to have marshmallow fluff in it - it’s part of the name! There is a big difference in texture between marshmallow fluff and mini marshmallows.
This linguistic distinction should in no way interfere with your sandwich enjoyment ![]()
As a kid, I begged my dad to buy me Marshmallow Fluff exactly once. Its appeal escapes me.
I’m impressed that even as a child you understood how gross Marshmallow Fluff truly is. I liked it when I was a kid. I wouldn’t touch it now - but if someone gave me a well-prepared fluffernutter, I bet I’d enjoy a few bites.
I think I might enjoy a 2”x2” square and that would be enough for me. It’s been like forty years since I last had it.
My 30-year-old co-worker says she’s never heard of a fluffernutter. I wonder if that’s unusual.
I think it’s regional - NE states mostly?
I first heard about them here a couple of years ago.
I think I always knew what the sandwich was, but didn’t know there was a specific name for it until… I don’t remember when.
My younger sister liked it (she still likes marshmallows), but I hated it as a kid and still hate it. Not a big fan of marshmallows…even the fancy schmancy “gourmet” ones.
I like all marshmallows. Especially the marshmallows swirled into Rocky road ice cream. I even like Peeps.
Shudder
Peanut butter, cucumber, lettuce and sweet chilli sauce, like a makeshift gado-gado effect.
You can invent the Peepernutter.
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ 'bout!
Hmmm…carve the Peep like a Thanksgiving turkey then arrange the parts on a slice of peanut buttered bread. ![]()
I’m forced to think of the imagery of this classic when you refer to carving a Peep like it was a feast:
The New York Times is late to the party.
The reader comments are fun.
“we often made it with waffles instead of bread.” - brilliant!
