Tips for Success

• Use quality peanut butter — the flavor really comes through! I love Smooth Operator for its creamy texture but this would be great with any of their other varieties too. 

• Make ahead: Assemble the sandwiches the night before and refrigerate. Dip and cook fresh in the morning for an easy breakfast.

• Get that Fluff spreading easily: If your marshmallow Fluff is too thick to spoon, microwave it with a splash of cream for 30 seconds, then stir and drizzle!

• Go sweet or savory: The toppings flight lets everyone build their perfect bite. Try pairing bacon with maple syrup for a salty-sweet combo that’s seriously delicious.
