Archibald Query of Somerville, Massachusetts, invented Marshmallow Creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread that was invented in 1917. Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts, 1913, invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme in 1913. They also published a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, the first known example of a Fluffernutter.
Marshmallow Creme was sold by Query in 1920, who renamed it Marshmallow Fluff. Over 100 years later, they continue to offer it under that brand today.
Where did the term "fluffernutter" originate from? Durkee-Mower's advertising company created it in 1960 in an effort to successfully sell the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
