Measuring Margarine When Substituting for Butter?

I'm cooking fudge and the recipe calls for butter. I only have margarine. How much margarine equals 1 stick butter?

They are equivalent in cooking - one stick of margarine equals one stick of butter. The results may be different so be careful if the recipe says 'butter only', or 'margarine only'. My mother-in-law is the baker in our family, and she says that margarine has some water content to it, and makes some things 'runny' as she calls it. I guess it would only make a difference if it were cut out cookies.

Best of luck to you!

If you have the soft margarine in a tub, don't use it, it will definitely turn out wrong. It has even more water in it than regular margarine.
