How to Make a Peanut Butter and Fluff Sandwich

Try a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich.

An iconic American treat, especially in New England, a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich is a beloved part of childhood for many people. The sandwich is commonly known as a Fluffernutter, from the Marshmallow Fluff brand name and the required peanut butter. The concoction is thought to date to 1914, when a marshmallow creme company included the idea in a recipe booklet distributed in Massachusetts, according to an article in the "Melrose Mirror" newspaper.

Instructions

1. Position 2 pieces of bread side by side on a flat surface.

2. Use a knife to spread peanut butter on 1 piece of bread.
