- In a stand mixer add the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla.
- Beat on high until fluffy.
- Add in the peanut butter and beat until combined.
- Add in the salt and flour and beat until just combined.
- Spread half the batter into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Let cool for five minutes in the fridge.
- Scoop the marshmallow fluff randomly across the pan in large dollops.

Chef’s Note
Delicious natural goodness mixed with homemade marshmallow fluff and baked into irresistible Pumpkin Fluffernutter Bars. I use a marshmallow fluff that I make at home, but you can substitute it with one you buy at the store. Plus, with the pumpkin spice flavor built into the peanut butter, you’ll LOVE how easy these bars are.

Do you have a substitute for the pumpkin pb? I want to make these with sunflower butter. Thank you!
I would add a tsp or two of Pumpkin Pie Spice (depending on your taste) and a Tbsp of Pumpkin puree to your sunflower butter.
Here’s a link to make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice: https://dinnerthendessert.com/pumpkin-pie-spice/
just so you know we in new england have a product called marshmallow fluff it comes in a jar or plastic container. and we have a sandwich called fluffernutter. fluff and peanutbutter on white bread.
One cup of pumpkin spice? That seems like a lot.
Hi Becky, it isn’t one cup pumpkin spice, it is 1 cup Pumpkin Spice peanut butter. 🙂
I love Peanut Butter and Co products. But I’ve still never tried Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter! This is will be on my next to do list for this autumn!

Thanks Abeer!
These look positively luscious and I’ve got to try that peanut butter!
Thank you so much Kimberly! You’re going to love it!
where would you find pumpkin peanut butter?
If you click on the link in the post, their website pops up and they have a store locater. Just type in your zip code and it’ll show you retailers around you that carry their product….easy peasy!
The store locator didn’t pop up with a zip code option, just 2 websites that were $16+ for 1 jar. Amazon shows the product at a good price but unavailable. PB&Co site has a good price and it’s available, but shipping for 2 jars is more expensive than the 2 jars! Any other options for this recipe? I have 2 church groups that would love this dessert. Thanks!
It’s a pumpkin spice peanut butter. PB&Co is the best tasting that I’ve had, but I’m sure there might another brand that would be good.
Thanks.
