Peanut Butter Fluff Recipe

So, you’re craving something sweet, lazy-friendly, and borderline addictive? Ohhh buddy… you just stumbled onto the right recipe. Peanut butter fluff is basically dessert disguised as a “quick snack,” and honestly? I support this kind of chaos. It’s creamy, it’s dreamy, and it takes less time than sending that “I’m on my way” text when you’re absolutely not on your way.

Let’s get whisking.

Why This Recipe Is Awesome

Oh, where do I begin?

• It’s idiot-proof—like, truly. If you can stir, you can master this.
• Takes about five minutes, which is shorter than your average TikTok spiral.
• Only a handful of ingredients… because who has time (or budget) for complicated things?
• It’s dangerously delicious. Like “let me just taste one spoonful—oops I finished the entire bowl” kind of delicious.
• Perfect for dips, desserts, or stress-eating straight from the fridge. Zero judgment here.

In short: it’s easy, creamy, and makes you feel like a culinary genius with minimal effort. Win-win.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (the smooth operator, not the chunky rebel)
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (aka sticky happiness in a jar)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened (don’t skip softening unless you enjoy arm day)
• 1 cup whipped topping (because we like air in our snacks)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (the fancy touch)
• Pinch of salt (because balance matters, apparently)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Grab a mixing bowl. Preferably a clean one… but I’m not judging your lifestyle.
2. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. This is the moment you pretend you’re on a baking competition show.
3. Add peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Mix until it looks like a cloud made of happiness.
4. Drop in vanilla and a pinch of salt. Give it a quick blend.
5. Fold in the whipped topping. Not aggressively—gently, like you’re tucking a baby in with a marshmallow blanket.
6. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Yes, you have to wait. I don’t like it either.
7. Serve with fruit, cookies, pretzels… or a spoon. Let’s be real, the spoon wins.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the softening of cream cheese. Unless you enjoy lumps and sadness.
• Overmixing the whipped topping. You’ll knock out the fluffiness and wind up with peanut butter cement.
• Using crunchy peanut butter thinking it will “add texture.” No, it’ll add regret.
• Not chilling it. The flavors need time to vibe. Patience, my friend.
• Adding extra salt. This isn’t a fries situation. Be gentle.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No marshmallow fluff? Use extra whipped topping—but it’ll be lighter and less sweet.
• Want it healthier? Lol, good one. But okay: swap regular PB with natural PB (stir it well!).
• No cream cheese? Try Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
• Make it chocolatey: Add 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder (highly encouraged IMO).
• Nut allergy? Use sunflower seed butter. Tastes amazing and still keeps that creamy vibe.

FAQs

Can I freeze peanut butter fluff?

You can, but why are you delaying happiness? It freezes well, but texture gets a bit firmer.

Can I use chunky peanut butter?

Technically yes, but… why? Do you enjoy chaos?

Is this a dip or dessert?

Both. All. Whatever you want. Your kitchen = your rules.

Can I make it less sweet?

Sure—use less marshmallow fluff or swap in plain whipped topping. But remember, this is a dessert. Don’t expect salad energy.

How long does it last in the fridge?

Up to 4–5 days in an airtight container. Good luck making it last that long.

Can I add mix-ins?

Absolutely! Mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or sprinkles—all welcome to the party.
