👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Easy prep. If you've made a fluffernutter or grilled cheese before, this sandwich will feel familiar and simple.
- Fast cooking. Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff melt quickly, so these sandwiches cook faster than grilled cheese.
- Keep it low heat. Use low heat so the fillings melt without burning the bread. You can even make one in the microwave, similar to a microwave grilled cheese, with adjusted timing.

Storage: These Grilled Fluffernutter Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
