The Fluff Screamer

The Fluff Screamer

In the world of regional foods, the Fluff Screamer from Tony's Lunch in PA is easily one of the weirdest ones we've ever made, and certainly one I didn't even want to try. The name is because well, there's marshmallow fluff involved (the weird part) and hot chili (the screamer part). But I'm here to tell you it really surprised me cuz it works. Don't get me wrong, it's still weird, but it's honestly good.
