National Toasted Marshmallow Day - Kim's Way

S’mores aren’t the only option for toasted marshmallows, they are just the most popular one.  When I think beyond s’mores, I think of fluffernutters. 

A fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow creme, usually on white bread.  The sandwich was first created in the early 20th century after marshmallow creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread, was invented in Massachusetts. 

I had my very first fluffernutter at a women’s tea at church.  It was so cute!  The bread was cut into a perfect little circle, topped with peanut butter, then half of a large marshmallow, and toasted!  Yummy!  I was hooked!

I searched Pinterest for the perfect recipe for this holiday, and found this one from Jennifer at Not Your Momma’s Cookie.

Fluffer Nutter Blondies

1 cup salted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
2 2/3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup heavy cream
Approximately half a bag of large marshmallows, cut in half (mini marshmallows could also be used)

The result is a moist GOOEY delicious bar!

Notes:

  • The marshmallow is messy to cut - just to warn you!
  • The blondie was much thicker than I expected it to be.  This recipe could easily be make in a jelly roll pan or half sheet pan.  Just adjust the number of marshmallows accordingly.
