But this week, state legislators have engaged in robust debate on Marshmallow Fluff -- a locally made, sugary spread. Fluff aficionados defended the sweet spread, which locals also lather on ice cream and into hot chocolate, and is made by local company, Durkee-Mower Inc. of Lynn, Massachusetts. A two-tablespoon serving of fluff, which is made from corn syrup, sugar and egg whites, has about 60 calories.>> I say leave the fluff in their. School lunches are pretty nasty tasting, at least fluff tastes good. Too bad we dont get any here on the west coast and have to settle for marshmellow crea.

The once-a-week limit is perfectly reasonable too.

This reminds me of when I was a kid; my grade school served what was termed "peanut butter candy" for dessert with some lunches. The bars were extremely popular among the kids, but they were also nutritious (if not low-fat). Think of the inside of a Reese's peanut butter cup, only denser. They had just enough sugar to give them sweetness and hold together. I have no idea what else was in them in addition to the peanut butter, and I have been ardently searching for a recipe.

Originally Posted By smeeeko peanut butter and honey.. with or without the banana. =) toasted pb&j on wheat bread. good stuff too..

Doesn't seem especially healthy but as long as you don't put it on white bread I would think the individual ingredients can't be all bad.. compared to say the other junk kids are eating.. peanut butter is very nutritious (and fattening) source of protein.. not sure what the fluf part is though.. sugarsugarsugarsugar? but it's Kosher so it's got to ok right?? once a week should be A-OK I would think.

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF I never had Fluff until I moved to Minnesota. I heard of it but never saw it in St. Louis or San Francisco. We always just used marshmallow creme. Putting the creme on the sandwich is a little tricky. You can't really spread it around or else it will tear the bread. Fluff is only slightly better in that regard.
