Marshmallow creme is a uniquely American food item. It is a very sweet, spreadable, marshmallow-like confection and is popular amongst young children. Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter are the fillings of a sandwich, the Fluffernutter.

One popular brand of marshmallow creme, sold principally in the Northeastern United States, is Marshmallow Fluff originally invented by Limpert Company.

Around 1917 in Somerville, Massachusetts Archibald Query sold his version door-to-door. In 2006, Union Square, Somerville, Massachusetts, the home of Archibald Query, celebrated his original creation of Fluff with a festival titled What the Fluff?[1] that included a science fair, gallery show and cooking contest, all oriented around Marshmallow Fluff.

According to a recent Boston Globe article, Massachusetts State Senator Jarrett Barrios was proposing a restriction on the number of weekly servings of Marshmallow Fluff (Fluffernutter) sandwiches in the form of an amendment to a bill that will limit junk food in schools. He later dropped the proposal due to ridicule about it.[2]

State Representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein plans to file a bill that would make the Fluffernutter the official sandwich of Massachusetts.[3]
