Tuesday?s Cupful: Marshmallow Crème

The kids are headed back to school and enticing lunches or snacks are in order. Marshmallow crème has the gooeyness and sweetness that kids like. This spread reminds us that it?s OK to tweak a childhood favorite. Use marshmallow crème with peanut butter instead of the usual jelly to make a peanut butter and marshmallow crème sandwich. Marshmallow crème is made mainly from corn syrup, sugar, and egg whites. It has been around since the early 20th century. The Durkee-Mower company is the original producer of Marshmallow Fluff. They still make it today. Meanwhile, Solo Marshmallow Crème and Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Crème are later additions to the food market. Try spreading marshmallow crème on top of brownie squares or cupcakes. Can you think of other uses for marshmallow crème?
