Because November is Peanut Butter Lovers Month, trivia buffs will want these factoids about peanuts. Others want a culinary delight, thus that is the purpose of this post.
1) Get two slices of bread.
2) On one slice, spread peanut butter (amounts may vary).
3) On the other slice, spread marshmallow creme (fluff).
4) On top of the marshmallow creme, sprinkle mini chocolate chips.
5) Slice a banana (either lengthwise or cross section cuts acceptable), and then place the slices on the peanut butter bread.
6) Bring the two slices together as a sandwich.
7) Bite the sandwich to your personal specifications.
8) Continuing biting the sandwich until the sandwich is gone.
9) Rave about the experience by telling your friends about A Frank Angle’s Deluxe Fluffernutter.
This post made me go make a sandwich! just the traditional peanut butter and jelly though.next time I am going for the other stuff 🙂

I’ve never tried peanut butter and marshmallow spread together. With the extras you’ve added, I might just have to give it a go. And try not to feel guilty about it… (Love the photo of the ‘gone’ sandwich!)

As I was dragged up in England I never got this peanut butter thing. There is something in the texture of the stuff that makes me want to retch. On the other hand I don’t want to turn this into an anti-American food comment. You have wonderfully creative food combinations that I would never have thought about in England, such as putting ketchup on scrambled eggs. I positively love this combination.
