This New England staple deserves a home among Southern sandwiches.

The flavor is sweet and salty, similar to the qualities of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

(We’re just happy the sandwich made its way South at some point.)

The sandwich first cropped up in the early 20th century, soon after the invention of marshmallow creme.

What To Serve With Fluffernutter

This simple sandwich doesn’t need any fancy sides to accompany it.

Pop a few potato chips or pretzels beside this, and call it a complete meal.

Spread marshmallow creme on the second slice of bread.

Cut the sandwich into halves, or enjoy it whole.

It’s a lot like a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich, but without the fruity flavors.
