How many mini marshmallows
are equivalent to a jar of marshmallow creme?
Q: How many mini marshmallows are equivalent to a
jar of marshmallow creme? I want to make peanut butter fudge
but don't have marshmallow creme. Thank you, Diana NelsonRodgers
A: Hi Diana, 2 cups of mini marshmallows is equivalent
to 1 (7-ounce) jar of marshmallow creme. When using marshmallows
in place of the creme try adding about a teaspoon of light corn
syrup per cup of marshmallows.
The standard claim is that there are about 10 to 11 large marshmallows
per cup and about 110 miniature marshmallows per cup. However,
I have not tested this measurement for accuracy. Rather than
count each marshmallow, one can always measure the marshmallows
by weight equivalent to the amount of marshmallow creme or try
filling a measuring cup with the marshmallows and gently press
down until the marshmallows are slightly compacted and level
with the cup, but not totally deflated.
All in all, I don't think a few marshmallows (more or less) isn't
going to make too much difference.
Enjoy the recipes,
