If you think about what is in a child’s lunchbox, chances are you think about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. There are variations in these sandwiches of course like different flavors of jelly or adding honey and bananas but have you ever heard of the delicious take on the pb&j called the fluffernutter?  This is a pb&mf (Oh my!) aka Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff. I decided that this sweet treat is better suited for a dessert than a sandwich so I bring to you. . .  the Fluffernutter Cupcake! This recipe is from scratch and totally worth making. You are going to be amazed at how good this tastes.
