A few years ago employees at the Dallas World Aquarium used a slurry of peanut butter & saltwater as jellyfish food, just to see if they could make Peanut Butter and Jellyfish. It worked surprisingly well, with the jellies reportedly “thriving” on the mixture!

I was halfway expecting ng coin shaped candies, but all these flavors sound great. I grew up with peanut butter and jelly, or peanut butter & mashed banana sandwiches, and we might get the occasional fluffernutter once in a while. Now I'm putting bananas, jelly, and marshmallow fluff on the grocery list to go with my peanut butter. My mom used to make peanut butter sandwiches for me with homemade apple butter, that was sure a treat!

I always adore watching you use the old candy presses. And being from Mass. I am proud to hear you talk about Bean-Town. I would like to add to the Fluffernuter conversation that “Fluff” is a brand, which (btw) is difficult to find outside of New England. You can however find “marshmallow cream” in other parts of the country. I know this directly from personal experience when my husband and I lived in the DC area we would have my mother ship us certain things that are impossible to find outside Mass. (And for my husband Fluff was at the top of the list. )
