Here's a little history of this sweet treat and how to make one of your own.\r\n

What Is a Fluffernutter?<\/h2>\r\nIt's right there in the name: part marshmallow fluff, part nut butter. Specifically, it's a kid-favorite sandwich with a filling of peanut butter and marshmallow creme<\/a>. It's soft, gooey and a delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors.\r\n

Is This Sandwich a New England Thing?<\/h2>\r\nThis treat is every bit as New England<\/a> as lobster rolls, whoopie pies<\/a> and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The phenomenon began with the marshmallow fluff itself, created by the Durkee-Mower Candy Company of Somerville, Massachusetts in the 1920s. Sales of the jarred marshmallow creme were so successful that the company thrived through the Great Depression and WWII. They even had their own radio variety show called the Flufferettes.\r\n\r\nThough it was a competing marshmallow creme company that first thought of a peanut butter-marshmallow sandwich, Durkee-Mower made it famous. They coined the name \"Fluffernutter\" in the '60s and widely promoted it to kids and families with catchy advertising jingles.\u00a0Durkee-Mower continues to make Marshmallow Fluff today.\r\n

What Does a Fluffernutter Taste Like?<\/h2>\r\nWhen you bite into this soft-as-a-cloud sandwich, the nutty peanut butter and the vanilla marshmallow creme hit your taste buds at the same time. The fluff is a shot of gooey sweetness that's nicely cut by the salty peanut butter, and they're surprisingly well-balanced.\r\n\r\nMy husband and I treated ourselves to fluffernutters recently. While some childhood treats<\/a> don't hold up in adulthood, my husband pointed out that this sticky sandwich tastes every bit as good now as it did then. Getting streaks of marshmallow fluff on your face, fingers and even on your clothes while eating one are to be expected and all part of the experience.\r\n
