That is, it's no prob­ lem if you bave fluffy marsh- mallow creme around the house and bake up batches of fabulous Fluffernutty Kisses to share with one and all. Take it from New Englanders whose holiday hospitality is leg­ endary, when the roster of ben­ efactors tp, mankind (or chil- drenkind) is completed, it should list prominently the name of the person who first created marshmallowyt^eats like Fluffernutters and S'- Mores. If you have any "Fluff- ernuts" in the family, you know how irresistable the blend of fluffy marshmallow creme and nuts is just by itself. But when you turn it into these utterly divine "kisses" -- all we can say is, forget the mistletoe. Just bring on the kisses -- plain and fancy. The basic recipe -- beauti­ fully simple -- calls for corn­ flakes, coconut and egg whites, in addition to the fluffy marsh- mallow creme and nuts, so that the kisses are really good for you. And becuase they are so easy to turn out by the dozens -- an inexpensive when you compare them with the cost of bakery cookies -- they really are the perfect sweetmeat for holiday giving--and holiday get­ ting.
