Marshmallow Fluff
Very sweet, light, and gummy-soft rather than firm.
Lens analyzedMarshmallow fluff is a spreadable, whipped marshmallow cream sold in a jar rather than as individual marshmallows. It stays soft and sticky at room temperature, making it easy to swirl into desserts instead of melting solid marshmallows down first.
Where it comes from
Whipped marshmallow cream was developed in early 20th-century New England as a shelf-stable alternative to homemade marshmallow icing, and it became the defining ingredient in the fluffernutter sandwich popular across the northeastern United States. It's since spread into fudge recipes, s'mores bars, and frosting across North America.
Buying it
Look for a jar that's uniformly white with no separation or hardened crust near the lid. A slightly springy, marshmallow smell when opened is a good sign it's fresh.
Storing it
Keep the jar sealed in the pantry; it stays spreadable for close to a year unopened, though it can dry out and stiffen once exposed to air repeatedly.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
