The Sweet Spin Massachusetts Puts On A Peanut Butter Sandwich

A fluffernutter is a combination of sweet marshmallow créme and peanut butter on white bread. It is Massachusetts' official state sandwich and is beloved throughout the South.
The original marshmallow fluff recipe was invented in 1913 by couple Amory and Emma Curtis. It consisted of peanut butter and barley-oat bread with a layer of marshmallow fluff.
It wasn't until the 1960s, when the makers behind Marshmallow Fluff began marketing their product to busy housewives as a convenience food, that the fluffernutter took off.
