Confession time.
Before I made these cookie I really did not know what a fluffernutter was.
Here is the truth, I am not the biggest marshmallow person. Okay wait, warm marshmallows with chocolate? Yes. Gooey, sticky, still warm Rice Krispie Treats with maybe a little chocolate mixed in? Yes. But just marshmallows alone? No. I can’t do it, it’s too sugary and too boring.
And I always think, I would rather be eating something else.
Also, up until a few months ago when I made these Toasted Coconut Caramel Peanut Butter Snickers Bars I had no idea marshmallow fluff even existed.
I had never bought it before and I never had any growing up. My mom was strictly a chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookie, Special K Bars, peacan pie, chocolate chip cookie pie and the occasional Rice Krispie Treat kind of baker. Marshmallows were saved for S’mores and Rice Krispie Treats.
Oh and sweet potato casserole on Thanksgiving!
It was only once I started blogging that I realized there is about a million and one recipes out there calling for marshmallows and or marshmallow fluff.
And I mean marshmallow frosting?
Yeah, I definitely did not know that existed.
Welp, now I do!!
And oh boy am I excited about it. I mean wasn’t it just two weeks ago that I posted these S’more Milk Chocolate Mousse filled Chocolate Cups with Marshmallow Frosting? Yeah, it was.
I am like a kid with a new toy. Just swap the toy for marshmallow frosting.
So I researched what the heck a fluffernutter sandwich was.
Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiched between two pieces of bread. Sounds ok, but probably not my thing. So I kicked up the fluffernutter and added bananas and chocolate.
It just made sense.
Not sure if you can still call this a fluffernutter, but I’m going with it, and what ever you want to call it, it’s good!!
They are pretty simple to make, but the tricky part is keeping the sandwiches from sliding to one side while the marshmallow filling dries. When the filling is wet, the top cookie wants to slide off. I found that if you line the cookies up in rows so that they are touching and all sitting up right, the cookies are all forced to stay in position and not slide. This way they stay aligned and pretty!

Attention…The fluffernutter just got SO much better.
Oh. mygosh. I think this must be what they serve in heaven!
oh my gosh! Thank you, Bridget!! That means so much coming from you!!
Oh geez, these look so good…but then again, what doesn’t look good that you make?? 🙂
Awe, thank you so much! You are so sweet, Hannah!
YUM!! I looooved marshmallow frosting as a little girl. I even had a whole carebear cake with purple marshmallow frosting. 🙂
NO WAY!!! That is insane and so awesome! I want that cake!
Peanut butter and chocolate = heaven and the marshmallow frosting!!! OH MY!!! Bet these cookies will ship just fine to Georgia! 😉
Hehe! You think they would melt??
Thanks Shashi!
I sorta feel like I’ve been missing out this whole time—I really had no idea what a fluffernutter was either! And totally agree on the marshmallow thoughts, can’t really eat them plain, unless they are torched and with chocolate. My sugar tolerance is too low –> that sentence makes me feel old, haha.
I’m going to stick with your version! 🙂
Yes, I am not alone!! Seriously, this is a relief!! People cannot believe I have never had a fluffernutter!
Thanks Laura!
The only thing better than a cookie is two cookies in a sandwich! 🙂
Could not agree more!
I grew up eating fluffernutters but have not introduced my kids to them yet. I am afraid once they start they will never want to stop!!! These cookies look wonderful!
It’s a legit fear!! LOL!
Thank you so much, Nancy!
If it makes you feel better, I had no idea on what a fluffernutter was beofre reading your post because we don’t have them over here! Anyway, I’m happy to finally know what they are, how can you go wrong with cookies stuffed with marshmallow fluff?? They must be terrific, I’m definitely loving the banana addition 😀
Thank you!! I totally agree, it’s a combo that can never go wrong!
Oh my god. I could never make these because they would be gone in 5 minutes
LOL! That means you must make them!! Can’t deprive ourselves, right?!?
Thanks Jamie!
Fluffernutters were my favorite sandwich growing up. What am I saying…they are still my favorite 🙂 I love that you added banana and chocolate to this fun cookie! I want like 9 for breakfast!!!
LOL! Thank you so much, Jocelyn! I cannot believe I have never had any fluffernutter themed foods until these cookies. I have been missing out!
Love everything going on with these cookies!!
Thanks Sophie!
This brings me back to the days of brown bag school lunches – my mom would always put fluffernutters in for a treat. Yours look a million times better than any packaged cookie and I’d be willing to make a big ol batch of marshmallow to go to fluffernutter town! 🙂
Thank you, Julie!! I cannot believe I have never had any fluffernutter themed foods until these cookies. I have been missing out!
I love a fluffernutter! I think the idea originated in New England so we grew up eating them. That said, I am totally on board with your take – these cookie sandwiches are awesome 🙂
Well thank you!! So happy you are liking my updated version!
I’ve always wondered what to do with that marshmallow fluff stuff and now I know! Love the idea of these cookies.
Thank you so much, Kathryn!
They look fabulous! I made fluffernutter frosted cookies last week! Can never go wrong with Flufffffff! 🙂
I saw those cookies, they were incredible!! As always!!
Thanks so much, Averie!
