For generations of New Englanders, the fluffernutter is a hometown favorite. And, honestly, it is one of the best sandwiches<\/a> in the country. While kids will happily eat one for lunch, the sandwich may be a tad sweet for an adult lunch (unless you plan to nap afterward). However, fluffernutter sandwiches are great for a midday snack or even as a dessert. This northeastern treat requires just three ingredients, but it’s filled with a ton of nostalgia.<\/p>\n

What is a fluffernutter sandwich?<\/h2>\n

A fluffernutter is a kid-favorite sandwich with peanut butter and marshmallow creme filling. It’s a gooey and delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors. When you bite into this soft-as-a-cloud sandwich, the salty peanut butter and the vanilla marshmallow creme hit your taste buds simultaneously. They’re surprisingly well-balanced.<\/p>\n

My husband and I recently treated ourselves to a couple of fluffernutter sandwiches. 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 back then. Finding streaks of marshmallow fluff on your face, your fingers and even your clothes after eating one is to be expected. It’s all part of the experience.<\/p>\n

Where did the fluffernutter sandwich recipe originate?<\/h2>\n

One of many classic New England recipes,<\/a> fluffernutters are as iconic as lobster rolls, whoopie pies<\/a> and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The phenomenon began with Marshmallow Fluff itself, created by the Durkee-Mower Company of Somerville, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s. Sales of the jarred marshmallow creme were so successful that the company thrived despite the Great Depression and WWII. The company even had a radio variety show called the Flufferettes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Though it was a competing marshmallow creme company that first thought of a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich, Durkee-Mower made it famous. They coined the name “Fluffernutter” in the ’60s and widely promoted the creation to kids and families with catchy advertising jingles. Durkee-Mower continues to make Marshmallow Fluff today. There’s even an annual Fluff Festival in Somerville that celebrates the gooey spread.<\/p>\n
