Back To School Throwback Lunches: Peanut Butter & Marshmallow Cream
Monday I shared the story behind the good old classic cream cheese & olive sandwich. We toned it down for Tuesday and did the more popular peanut butter & banana sandwich. Wednesday was mom's kick-butt tuna fish sandwich. Thursday I highlighted one of my all time favorites, the pimento cheese sandwich.
For the last in this series, I present the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. In some circles it is called the fluffernutter!
Yes, smooth creamy peanut butter covered in a marshmallowy concoction of sugar and corn syrup — sure to give you that mid day "bump" you need to make it through Friday. Mom knew exactly what she was doing!
Stepping away from the Little Debbie family, we head over to the Hostess family for the Friday cupcake.
Toss in some grapes and you have the perfect Friday lunch.
I really enjoyed this series and allowing my mouth to walk down memory lane. Mary was also excited to have sweets in the house which is a rare occurrence.
I would like to take this moment and thank my mom who got up without fail and packed 3 lunches a day for myself, my little brother and dad. She was creative and mixed it up just about everyday. Lunch was like a grateful dead concert — you never saw the same thing twice in a row.

Wow. Your mom sounds pretty great! The first time I had marshmallow fluff was at a friend's house. We lived abroad and they got to shop at the commissary and I thought it was divine and ate it straight from the spoon. I think my kids would get a kick out of this. I'd would take the Fluff but it would cost too much to send!
ReplyDeleteToo funny Katie. Definitely brought back memories but I think it will be a while before I eat another one!
DeleteThis was an awesome series Tim. I looked forward to all the posts!
ReplyDeleteAnd this sandwich with pb and marshmallow fluff is one that remember fondly. Our moms had similar lunch packing styles. :)
Thanks Brittany, I had a lot of fun doing this series!
DeleteIf my kids saw this post they would ask for this sandwich everyday!
ReplyDeleteYes, we got this one quite often. I probably will not eat another one for quite some time though!
DeleteI have never tried marshmallow fluff before.. But this looks like a great, easy sandwich to make for back to school
ReplyDeleteVery easy. It is also very messy. After I made this I had marshmallow fluff everywhere. But definitely good! Thanks for taking a look!
DeleteTim great meeting you and Mary today. I am now a new follower and always glad to find local bloggers. My kids would go crazy over these sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria! So glad we met and we look forward to follow along in your world!
