Sounds delicious!
I’m in the UK and I have a couple of questions:
What is shortening?
Confectioner’s sugar – is that icing sugar or caster sugar?
Where, in the name of all that’s holy, can I find marshmallow fluff?
I want to make these, now

I don’t think anyone really knows what shortening is, but according to my mother it’s 100% fat!
In the U.S. it’s usually sold under the brand name of Crisco: http://www.crisco.com/
Here’s a good picture of it that may help you out: http://sommerleigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/shortening-all_vegetable-453-ss.jpg
Confectioner’s sugar or Powdered sugar is that really fine sugar that’s like baby powder. We make icing with it also, so I’m pretty sure you’ve got that one.
Marshmallow fluff – Well, that one is a little harder.
If you took an electric mixer to marshmallows that would give you fluff, but I don’t think that would work. [wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow_fluff ]
I’m not sure it’s sold outside of the U.S. – basically it’s creamed marshmallows. [wonder how much it would cost to ship a 7 1/2 oz jar to the UK? lol]
