Fluffnutter Bars

The other day I had to buy marshmallow fluff for my niece. I remember when fluff was a staple in my cabinet but my daughter hasn't been asking for it for awhile. Its funny how you don't realize how your children's (or your own) taste evolve over time. I think all my son has been eating for lunch lately is tuna fish. (Why tuna fish? Why everyday?) I don't think my children will evolve away from desserts. Well, my daughter loved this dessert. Of course, my husband loved this dessert even more. It is gooey and soft.
