How to Make Fluffernutter tea sandwiches
1. FILL SANDWICH BAGS WITH FILLINGS
Instead of making a big mess by trying to get the gooey fillings onto the bread with a knife or spoon, use plastic sandwich bags as piping bags.
2. CUT BREAD INTO CIRCLES
Use a round cookie cutter and cut two circles from each slice of bread, avoiding the crust.
3. ASSEMBLE TEA SANDWICHES
From the bottom up: Bread, peanut butter, bread, Marshmallow Fluff, bread, Nutella, bread.
Start with a bread circle and pipe on peanut butter onto the center of the bread.
Top with a piece of bread and gently press down so the peanut butter spreads out without going all the way to the edge.
Next is the marshmallow layer. Pipe Marshmallow Fluff onto the center of the bread.
Add another piece of bread and gently press down.
Pipe about Nutella on top of the bread.
Be aware that Nutella isn’t as thick as the peanut butter or Marshmallow Fluff so it’ll come out quicker from the piping bag.
Top with the final layer of bread.
And you’re done!
Tea Sommelier’s Tip: If you’re looking for tea to pair with these Fluffernutter tea sandwiches, go with an herbal tea like Strawberry Kiwi for kids since it doesn’t have any caffeine. For adults, go for a green or a black tea to cut the sweetness like Earl Grey or Genmaicha.
Fluffernutter Tea Sandwich Tips
- Bread that’s frozen is easier and neater to cut than room temperature bread.
- Don’t overfill each sandwich layer since the fillings can ooze out, making a mess.
- Marshmallow Fluff with start to harden, so it’s best to make these sandwiches within a couple of hours before serving.
Questions You May Have
Replace peanut butter with any other nut butter. Just make sure it spreads easily.
Make the tea sandwich two layers instead of three. So it would be from the bottom up: bread, filling, bread, filling, bread.
Use a small drinking cup or a shot glass to press down on the bread to cut out the circles. A cup with a thin rim will cut through the bread the easiest.
