Fluffer-Nutter Open-Faced Sandwich

 Fluffer-Nutter Open-Faced Sandwich

    Okay, so this is the first of two recipes I planned to make from my 1963 "It's easy to be a Gourmet...with SAUCY Peanuts ...and other fine Oklahoma Peanut Recipes!" recipe booklet. As you would suspect, there are a lot of "curious" recipes in this booklet, which incorporate peanuts into recipes with ingredients that you might never think of trying together. Peanuts are nutritious and are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats; this booklet tells us that there are 5.57 grams of protein, 10.7 grams of fat, 16 mg calcium, .45 mg iron, 3.7 mg niacin, .028 mg riboflavin and .068 mg thiamine in 3/4 oz of salted peanuts. Current nutrition facts per one ounce of peanuts are: Calories: 161, Fat 14g, Sodium: 5.1 mg, Carbohydrates: 4.6g, Fiber: 2.4g, Sugars: 1.3 and Protein: 7.3 {Source: www.verywellfit.com}. You can find more information on peanuts at www.okpeanutcomm.org. 

The Fluffer-Nutter is listed in the Sandwiches section under "Peanut Spreads". It does not contain measurements, just ingredients. I give amounts below, but use more or less peanut butter if you like. If desired, add a sprinkle of chocolate shavings before or after toasting. I enjoyed this simple snack and I have a feeling you might also. 

Ingredients:

1 slice bread (white/wheat)

1 tbsp creamy or crunchy peanut butter

mini marshmallows, as many as you can fit in one layer on your slice of bread

chocolate shavings for decoration if desired

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees F. Spread your desired peanut butter on one slice of bread. Top with one layer of mini marshmallows. You are ready to toast. Place your slice of bread directly onto a rack in your oven and toast until marshmallows are puffy; your bread should be toasted on the bottom. Remove from oven and char the top of the marshmallows if you desire (I did!). I used a large Bic multi-purpose lighter.
