Slashfood Ate (8): Best peanut butter sandwiches

A childhood staple and an adult favorite, the peanut butter sandwich has a special place in all of our hearts and stomachs. The sandwich rose to popularity during WWII, due to rationing at home and its inclusion in the meals of soldiers. The sticky sandwich long outlasted the war and is consumed in 89 percent of U.S. households. Here are eight of the most popular sandwiches that peanut butter is used in.

Marshmallow Fluff is a wonderful concoction of sugar, corn syrup, egg whites and vanilla that is whipped into a creamy and spreadable goo. It turns out that the tasty treat might join the list of foods banned from Massachusetts schools, despite the fact that the spread is a local icon, invented in the state back in 1917 and has been a popular New England pantry staple ever since.

While parents have packed Fluffernutter sandwiches as special treats in kids' lunchboxes for many years, some parents recently noticed that they are being included as a school lunch option by the schools themselves - 1 out of every 14 schools, to be exact.

Fluffernutter suit against Williams-Sonoma

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.
