The company that makes Marshmallow Fluff brand marshmallow creme is suing
Williams-Sonoma over its use of the word "fluffernutter". A fluffernutter is a combination of marshmallow creme
and peanut butter and the "fluff " part of the trademarked name comes from the Marshmallow Fluff brand name.
Williams-Sonoma sells a marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate-covered candy under the same name. The products were
available over the 2005 Holiday season and do not seem to be in stores at the moment.
