Butterfly Raspberry Fluff and Nutella Tea Sandwiches – Put a romantic spin on Marshmallow Fluff with this pretty, chocolatey tea sandwich that’s tons of fun for kids and grownups alike!
As a kid I ate a lot of Marshmallow Fluff. I wouldn’t call it the cornerstone of good childhood nutrition, but it’s definitely the stuff of good memories. Plus, I grew up in the 90’s, when “good snacks” included Kool-Aid, Fruit Gushers, and DunkAroos. Fluff fit nicely within a balanced 90’s kid diet.
It turns out that my cat shares my affinity for Fluff. He’s not a fat cat, so I let him indulge with a few licks. When I took it away he hung around the kitchen and cried for an hour. Poor kitty! I’d cry too if someone took my fluff away!
When I was a kid, as a special treat my mom would make the all-time Fluff classic; a peanut butter and fluff sandwich, otherwise known as a “Fluffernutter.” This February I decided to romanticize Fluff a little by creating Butterfly Raspberry Fluff and Nutella Tea Sandwiches.
Mixing raspberry jam into fluff makes a pretty-in-pink, delightful raspberry-flavored version of fluff. Perfect for your kids’ (or grown-ups’) Valentine’s Day party.
I shared one of these sandwiches with my mom and she mentioned that we should have tried mixing raspberry with Fluff years ago. Paired with Nutella, this recipe is part sandwich and part dessert! The kids in your life will love it. You can be sure, however, if you try to take it away they’ll likely cry for an hour over their lost Fluff!

Have you tried it with strawberry jam? Our girl is wanting a tea party for her second birthday and this sounds great, except she only likes the sweetest of fruits fairly certain the strawberry and Nutella would pair well, but curious if the ratios would be the same!
