Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the bars release easily after setting.
- Combine Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Mix in Marshmallow Fluff and Vanilla: Remove the peanut butter mixture from heat, then stir in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract until perfectly combined and silky smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs gradually to the wet mixture. This will give the bars a perfect balance of sweetness and structure.
- Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, pressing it firmly and evenly. Refrigerate for at least two hours until the bars are set and easy to cut.
- Slice and Enjoy: Once firm, remove the block from your pan, slice into bars of your desired size, and indulge in the delicious Fluffernutter bars!
Notes
- Use room temperature peanut butter and butter for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Press firmly into the pan to reduce air pockets and improve bar firmness.
- Chill thoroughly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Store bars in an airtight container between parchment paper layers to prevent sticking.
- Cut bars into preferred sizes depending on snack or dessert needs.
