Wait a minute.......you've never had a Fluffernutter??
Oh you deprived child!! Go and get some Fluff, peanut butter and wonder bread! The best sandwich ever. Of course you can make it fancy by using fancy pb and maybe slices of baguette.
But as a first timer you might want to just stick to the basics!!

I still think you need to try Fluff. It's not the same as marshmallow puffs. It even tastes a little different.
