{{THE BACKYARD FLUFFERNUTTER}}
DIDN'T EVERYONE GROW UP EATING FLUFFERNUTTERS?
A Fluffernutter is a wonderful concoction of Marshmallow Fluff (marshmallow crème to the fluff illiterate)
and peanut butter in a delightfully tasty sandwich!
Until I moved away from New England I honestly thought the fluffernutter was internationally know. When I
went to my local grocer and couldn't find "Fluff", I went into panic mode. How do we have our backyard fun
night without Fluffernutters? Not only did they not have "fluff" at my local supermarket, but I couldn't
even find another brand of marshmallow cream in the peanut butter and jelly isle. When I inquired about
where the Fluff was,I got the raised eyebrow look. This became my first realization that not everyone
knew what a "Fluffernutter" was. Marshmallow crème was only sold in the baking or ice cream isles. They had
never heard of putting it with Peanut Butter on a sandwich.
How utterly sad this was. Fluffernutters were as much a part of growing up as running through puddles.
My first call to action was to supply my pantry with Fluff (survival first). I called Maine and had some shipped
to me immediately. What would I feed the kids on Thursday night? Thursday was fluffernutter night
following Wednesday's Spaghetti night.
How did children survive without Fluffernutters? I believe this is definitely some form of child abuse, probably
In the neglect area. Every American child has the inalienable right to be raised on fluffernutter sandwiches.
So, my second call to action is to educate all of America on Fluffernutters.
Did you know:
Astronaut Rick Linnehan brought Fluff with him into space in March of 2008.
Fluff comes in 3 flavors: original marshmallow, strawberry and raspberry
The origins of Marshmallow Fluff go back to 1917. That is way before most of us were born.
Fluff has been a long staple of playgrounds, after-school snacks, college dorms, and the local diner and backyards,
at least where I grew up.
