💡 What's interesting
Culturally, the Fluffernutter is a regional icon so ingrained in Massachusetts that there have been legislative efforts to make it the official state sandwich. Nutritionally, it's a unique study in contrasts, pairing a protein-rich food (peanut butter) with a pure sugar confection (marshmallow fluff) to create a texture and flavor profile that is distinctly sweet, salty, and sticky.
