It's National Fluffernutter day ! Yea !! ( never heard of this one}

National Fluffernutter Day is October 8, when we fondly pay homage to the childhood sandwich of peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff squished between two slices of bread. Fluffernutter holds a special place in the childhood memories of many New Englanders and is memorialized by its own special day on the calendar.

2006 was a big year for the Fluffernutter. A proposal was made in the Massachusetts state assembly to make it the official sandwich of Massachusetts. That same year Fluffernutter became a new Brigham’s Ice Cream flavor. The state sandwich proposal failed, but the ice cream was a hit. And the first festival celebrating Marshmallow Fluff was held that summer.

Happy Fluffermutter day to all of you Fluffermutters out there !!

I used to love those sandwiches! omg.

I don't remember the name of the marshmallow spread we used. It wasn't
"Fluff" I don't think. Maybe it was Kraft Marshmallow Creme.

I don't recall ever even hearing of that combo. Our family favorite was peanut butter and honey.

Well I heard of fluffernutters but my mother didn't believe in giving me a sandwich made of candy. LOL! As if my peanut butter & jelly sandwich was any better. So I never had one but I love both peanut butter and marshmallow!

I loved Fluffernutters but haven't had one in ages. tt was hard to spread Fluff on white bread without ripping the bread.

I believe the fluffernutter is a regional thing where it was invented in Massachusetts. I first heard of them from my friend who is from NJ but before that I never heard of them.

In my area, these were always made with saltine crackers. The saltiness of the crackers was so much better than on white bread...or at least we thought so.
