Introduction
A Fluffernutter sandwich is a nostalgic treat made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Grilling it on the Arteflame adds a delightful twist by toasting the bread and melting the filling, giving the sandwich a warm, gooey, and slightly smoky flavor. This is the perfect comfort food for both kids and adults!
Ingredients
- 2 slices of white bread (or your favorite sandwich bread)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
- 1 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill
Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins and firewood. Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop reaches medium heat, perfect for toasting the sandwich.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread. On the other slice, spread the marshmallow fluff. Press the two slices together to form a sandwich.
Step 3: Grill the Sandwich
Melt butter on the flat cooktop of the Arteflame grill. Place the sandwich on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure an even, golden toast. The peanut butter and marshmallow fluff should become gooey and warm, while the bread crisps up nicely.
Hint: You can also grill these "de-constructed" by grilling the bread and peanut butter separate from the marshmallows if you're using whole marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff. This way you can get the marshmallows perfect with a slight charr on them. Then open the sandwich and combine!
Step 4: Serve
Once the sandwich is golden and the filling is melted, remove it from the grill. Slice it in half and serve immediately. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness of the Fluffernutter!
Tips
- Extra Crunch: Use chunky peanut butter for added texture, or add sliced bananas or crushed graham crackers to the filling.
- Sweetness: Drizzle a little honey over the peanut butter for an extra sweet touch.
- Bread Options: White bread works best for that classic Fluffernutter taste, but you can also use brioche or sourdough for a richer flavor.
Variations
- Nutella Fluffernutter: Swap the peanut butter for Nutella for a chocolatey twist.
- Fluffernutter with Bacon: Add crispy bacon slices for a sweet and salty combo.
- Almond Butter Fluffernutter: Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a nutty variation.
- Cinnamon Sugar Fluffernutter: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the outside of the bread before grilling for a crunchy, sweet crust.
- Fluffernutter with Fruit: Add sliced bananas, strawberries, or apples for a fruity flavor.
Best Pairings
- Drinks: Pair with a cold glass of milk, a cup of hot chocolate, or a peanut butter smoothie for a complete treat.
- Side Dishes: Serve with potato chips or a fruit salad to balance the sweetness of the sandwich.
Conclusion
Grilled Fluffernutter sandwiches on the Arteflame grill bring a delicious twist to this classic treat. The warm, gooey filling and crispy bread make for a comforting snack or dessert that everyone will love.
