Fluffernutter, part deux.

(Or, why being trapped indoors on a rainy Saturday is bad for your health.)

Boredom and hunger combined with my unholy passion for peanut butter to create this, the world's most gluttonous Fluffernutter:


It is assembled from two slices of lightly toasted white bread—one slice buttered and the other drizzled with maple syrup—joined around a morass of Peanut Butter & Co brand peanut butters (Mighty Maple and Smooth Operator) and a one-inch-thick layer of marshmallow Fluff. It weighed about 3 lbs. and was as tasty as the following picture is nauseating (i.e. very—as Mumsa looks on in disgust):

Brownies.

Are not technically a snack if they are your lunch.


That is all.

Crispix.

The great thing about breakfast cereals is how easily the great equalizer, added sugar, can blur the line between adult and child varieties. You can buy your Kaboom, your Urkel-O's, your Fruity Yummy Mummy, all of which are fine and dandy, but a simple two or three tablespoons of pure sugar added to a bowl of Crispix elevates that plebeian staple of corn and rice to something altogether different—a sweet, crunchy, hexagonal paradise of grainy goodness. Plus you can pretend you're eating well, even while each spoonful yields ever greater degrees of carbohydrate-fueled euphoria. The half-inch layer of refined white sugar in every spoonful just means you're keepin' it real. And that's good eatin'.

Fluff.

After a long drive back from New Jersey, I'm now settling in with a late-night snack of what is soon to be, with any luck, the official state sandwich of Massachusetts: The Fluffernutter. Concocted of one part original recipe marshmallow Fluff to one part Peanut Butter & Co. brand Mighty Maple peanut butter and generously slathered betwixt two pieces of bleached white bread, it is the perfect regressive snack food.

Holy god.

Eating a slice of mystery-liqueur-infused chocolate cake from Konditor Meister, courtesy of a co-worker's colleague at [name of publication redacted]. Sweet fancy moses, it's like a giant strawberry-topped chocolate orgasm. In my mouth. I need to go sleep it off.

Hello.

I would like to begin by thanking the good people at the National Biscuit Company for making Double Stuf Oreos.
