All Hail the Fluffernutter
Ok, those of you not from New England probably don’t know what a Fluffernutter is. It’s one of the best sandwiches ever. Marshmallow Fluff and Peanut Butter, preferably on white bread. Simple. Yummy. Find out more here.
I’ve mentioned before that finding all the yummy foods I grew up with is not easy now that I am 2700 miles away from home. Marshmallow Fluff is one of those indispensable ingredients that I was craving. And no, that Jet-Puff crap is no substitute. Anyway, I was shopping at my local supermarket when lo and behold, I saw it - the beautiful white jar with its red cap and vintage label. Oh, yeah. Into my basket it went. Now I am enjoying one of my favorite sandwiches, to be followed with some cookies. It’s good to have some easy yummy comfort food.

I have never acquired the taste for marshmallows. I have never experienced Fluff. My friend used to bring Fluffernutters to school in her lunch. I preferred cream cheese and black olive.
EWWWWW!!!! My taste was never that sophisticated. Still isn’t.
I grew up in New England but my mother did not. She always used to insist on sending me to school with bologna or turkey. Of course those sandwiches made for good trades with my friends and I ate PB and fluff several times a week.
wait, this is just a NE thing??? I used to eat these all the time. And thanks for bringing it up b/c i want one now and will NEVER find fluff here. It’s hard enough finding peanut butter…
Now your parents know what to put in your next care package - peanut butter and Fluff!
