Another version of the origin of the fluffernutter:

"The classic New England kids' treat was the brainchild of Paul Revere's
great-great-great-granddaughter, Emma Curtis of Melrose, Mass.
She and her brother Amory (Paul Revere's great-great-great-grandson)
began making and marketing Snowflake Marshmallow Crème in 1913.
During World War I, Emma Curtis published a recipe for a
peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich.
She called it the 'Liberty Sandwich.'"​

Read about "The Revolutionary Roots of the Fluffernutter Sandwich," from the New England Historical Society.

John that great information. Thanks for adding to the thread.

I've never tried a fluffernutter as I rarely see marshmallow spread in stores. I'd say I'd like it as I love peanut butter and jam (jelly) sandwiches Is it better to use smooth or crunchy peanut butter ?

 

[General Casey]

There is a festival held in Somerville every year called What the Fluff that celebrates marshmallow fluff.

 

[donna]

I like crunchy peanut butter. But both types are good on this sandwich.

 

[CowCavalry]

The name of the sandwich conjures up an entirely different mental image.........

On vacation in Florence Italy and look what's on the shelf. Is a strawberry fluffernutter a thing.

 

[donna]

Never seen the strawberry one here. I bet it is good.

 

[John Hartwell]

I've seen the strawberry in stores but never tried it. Regular Fluff and p'butter is such a "perfect" match (it really is!) that I'm not tempted to try the substitute, however good it may be.

A large jar of Fluff, a large jar of creamy peanut butter, and a large loaf of the softest, freshest, (least nutritious) white bread: DEADLY!
