how to make a Fluffernutter sandwich?
i know there must be a *proper* way to do this! i've never had one, so before i make one at home, i need to know what's right and what's not.
bread: toasted or untoasted? buttered?
PB: crunchy or not?
do you add any honey or bananas? do you eat with a glass of milk?

go for a soft, white, untoasted bread like Wonder
go for a creamy, non organic, non natural peanut butter like Skippy

I third the untoasted soft white bread + smooth Skippy pb + Fluff. Generous Fluff. (No banana.)

i toast. otherwise i cant get the fluff to spread. heat helps it spread, but it is not a dark toast.
as for honey or bananas... i like either of those with peanut butter on toast, but not with fluff.
to drink, milk is ok, but apple or grape juice is preferable.

you really cant spread the fluff.....just drop a big lump of it in the middle of the slice of bread and kinda help it a little to the edges

If I remember correctly, they had a jingle in their commercial which described how to make the fluffernutter sandwich. I can't remember the exact wording, but I know it was just pb and fluff on white, untoasted ,unbuttered bread. No beverage instructions were included.

Yes, white bread, fluff and pb. I always preferred chunky peanut butter, but I like that in everything. As a small child my beverage of choice was coffee milk, which in Rhode Island (maybe other parts of Southern New England as well?) is milk with coffee syrup in it. I preferred Autocrat brand.

For me the traditional way is:
Fluff + creamy pb (Jif) on untoasted sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
It's a fave though, and I didn't even discover it until my teens!
(my school lunches were turkey, not pbj's)

No crust on/crust off? Cut diagonally or with wise? I've never had a fluffernutter either.
Maybe Christina can follow up with how it was.

I grew up eating toast, peanut butter and banana just about every day for breakfast, and occasionally added fluff, which is still my favorite way to do it.
Occasionally had a plain fluffernutter with untoasted white bread growing up. But they are definitely better with a hearty, coarse grained artisinal bread like cracked wheat. Great on sourdough, too. Hard to make a bad fluffernutter. I use natural peanut butter and it works just fine. Add butter sometimes too, which helps you get a thinner layer of fluff, which will slide around on the butter.
@ag3208: I think it's better not to cut it. It helps to have the whole sandwich so the fluff doesn't start oozing.

okay, that is definitive then!
except now i have a giant tub of Fluff and only sandwiches to eat it on. no hardship though, really.... :}

I like to add nice jam to mine. PBJF. With a icy cool glass of milk.
Kinda like the noise you make trying to answer to phone with a mouthful of said sandwich.

For a decadent variation, spread Fluff on one slice of bread, Nutella on the other. Place gently together, admire, and eat.
