Now, this is one that is unlikely to be known of by many outside the US. The name just by itself is rather peculiar. What it is is a sandwich that is similar to the classic American one of peanut butter & jelly.
This sandwich is normally made from white bread. One piece of bread is spread with peanut butter of a preferred type, whether crunchy or smooth. The other piece is spread with marshmallow creme. The two slices are then placed together to make the sandwich, which is also referred to as a fluffernutter.
Marshmallow creme is a spreadable marshmallow-like creme that comes in different flavours. One particular brand of the marshmallow creme is Marshmallow Fluff, which may well be the oldest type, although the recipe has probably been changed in the interim. The sandwich itself dates back to around the First World War, but the name itself did not come about until later in the century, when it was invented to help sell more product.
