I do this all the time. I weigh the marshmallows and 7 ounces equals 7 ounces. You don't have to be precise, a little more never hurts.

Ditto what everyone else says! I've gone through all the trouble of counting and measuring and weighing, and finally figured out that it doesn't matter. You don't have to be precise. The only problem I've ever run into, is that marshmallows are coated in powder, so if you use too many, it may harden a little too fast.

You can alleviate this by setting the pan your cooking it in on a very low heat till you're through mixing (for some reason, the heat keeps it soft), then immediately pour into the pan to set. Comes out great everytime.

Marshmallow cream is a whipped, spreadable version of puffy marshmallows used in making fudge, frostings and other confections.

Equivalents:
7 oz. jar, 2 1/8 cups

Substitutions:
For 1 cup marshmallow cream heat 16 large or 160 miniature marshmallows + 2 tsp corn syrup in the top of a double boiler.

MARSHMALLOWS
Ten large marshmallows = 1 cup miniature marshmallows; 4 large marshmallows = 1 ounce; 1/2 cup mini marshmallows = 1 ounce.

MARSHMALLOW CREME OR FLUFF

Advertisement


1 (6- or 7-ounce) jar Marshmallow Creme or Fluff = Gently heat 1 (16-ounce) package marshmallows plus 3 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup. Gently melt in a double boiler, stirring constantly.

So I'm thinking to MAKE 7 oz's of fluff you need 16 oz's of marhmallows.. as weird as that sounds?

Anyone else?

Liquid measure versus dry measure is the disconnect. Like 2 oz of dry pasta like penne is about 1 measuring cup full

I just melted close to 16oz and I ended up with way too much fluff. I guess I'll make rice krispie treats with the rest.

Crazy Mamie Fudge

Ingredients
&frac; cup butter (1/2 stick, chilled)
4 &frac; cup sugar (granulated)
12 oz evaporated milk (one large can)
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate coins

Advertisement


12 oz milk chocolate chips or chocolate coins
13-14 oz marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff
(two 7 oz jars, may substitute 4 cups of mini-marshmallows) (SO I GUESS 7OZ OF FLUFF=4CUPS OF MINI MARMALLOWS )

2 cup nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, chopped medium)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp imitation butter flavor (optional)

Method
1. Line a 13" x 9" pan with aluminum foil, butter the insides, and set aside.
2. Place chips, vanilla & butter flavor, about half the marshmallow creme, chilled butter,
and nuts into a LARGE saucepan or Pyrex glass dish and set aside (or in the refrigerator).
3. Use Medium heat to bring the milk and sugar to a rolling boil while stirring constantly
with a wooden spoon or single stem hand mixer.
4. Add marshmallow creme - fold in - the boil will stop.

5. Bring back to a rolling boil and continue to boil for 8 full minutes by the clock
(start timing once all the marshmallow has completely dissolved and the boil has resumed).
Use the lowest flame possible to keep the rolling boil.
The mixture will expand and start to turn brown during the boil.
If you get brown flakes in the mixture then turn down the heat a little and continue stirring.
6. Remove from heat and pour hot mixture over chips, vanilla, butter, butter flavor, and nuts
without scraping the sides of the hot saucepan.
7. Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
8. Cool 2-3 hours at room temperature.
9. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into squares. Store in an airtight container with
wax paper dividers for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 4 pounds of fudge.

This is a question asking about substituting marshmallows for marshmallow cream. They would use chocolate according to their recipe.

Here is a recipe for fudge using marshmallow cream. It calls for white chocolate chips but it should work with any type of chocolate chips.

Are use 28 regular size marshmallows instead of the 7 ounce jar of cream, and my peanut butter fudge turned out fantastic. I boiled it for five minutes exactly. A hard rolling boil.
It turned out perfect

This is the exact question I am looking for. I say just as the others say. Weigh them out then heat them up til you are about to put the marshmallows into the pan. A little more of the m'mallows never hurts.

I want to substitute miniature marshmallows for one jar of marshmallow creme. How do I measure the marshmallows?

 
January 22, 20100 found this helpful

Don't do it. It was the worst fudge I ever made; fell apart when I cut it. Go back to the store and buy some marshmallow cream!

 
December 25, 20100 found this helpful

I used 4 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows and 2 tsp corn syrup in place of 7 oz marshmallow creme in my fudge recipe. The fudge tastes great, is soft and easy to cut into pieces.

4 lg marshmallows = 1 oz so 44lg marshmallows = 7 oz equivalent to a 7 oz jar of marshmallow cream

 
December 3, 20160 found this helpful

If 4 Lg. marshmallows = 1 oz. and you need 7 oz. of marshmallow cream for a batch of fudge.....4 x 7 = 28 marshmallows

 
February 19, 20190 found this helpful

If 4 equals 1oz wouldn't 44 equal 11ozs not 7 ozs you would only need 28 large marshmallows

 
April 18, 20190 found this helpful

Regarding your above calculations, would you use 28 large or small marshmallows ?

 
October 15, 20120 found this helpful

An oz. is an oz. but when doing this it helps keep the fudge creamy and not dry out as fast. If you over cook the other ingredients it will make the fudge grainy. When using the cream it is a little more forgiving but it has nothing to do with the use of marshmallows over the cream.

Maybe 7 oz. volume and 7 oz. weight is being confused here?

 
June 16, 20190 found this helpful

My jar of Jet-Puffed marshmallow Creme (Kraft) says 7 oz. net WEIGHT. So it is not volume, at least for the creme.

 
June 22, 20131 found this helpful

This question is for Vette.

Regarding your calculation:
If 4lg marshmallow =1oz. How does 44lg marshmallow =7oz.?
Shouldn't 28lg marshmallow = 7oz or 44lg marshmallow =10oz?

Am I reading that wrong? I'm trying to get the correct conversion for my fudge recipes also.

Thanks!

I ran into this same issue of not having marshmallow cream, and substituted the approximate number of marshmallows instead. You can determine how many marshmallows equal an ounce by reading on the packaging of your marshmallows. It always tells you how many marshmallows per serving, and how many total servings are in the package if you read on the "Nutrition Facts" area.

The bag I had for instance said that 4 marshmallows was in one serving, and that there were 9 servings in the bag. That tells me that there are about 36 marshmallows total in the bag, and then you can see how many ounces the bag is. My bag of marshmallows was a 10 ounce bag. Dividing by 10 is easy, so 36 marshmallows/10 ounces means there are about 3.6 marshmallows in an ounce. Now we multiply that one ounce by however many ounces you need. The recipe I used also called for 7 ounces, so 3.6 times 7 means you would need about 25-26 marshmallows. (so the 28 marshmallows that you asked about probably worked out just fine) I used 25, and the fudge I was making turned out wonderfully. I hope this helps. I always use this kind of method when I'm told weight, since I don't have a scale.

Too complicated. Making fudge, not building a house.

I was looking for the opposite situation, but , as a side note, marshmallow cream uses egg whites, while marshmallows use gelatin. For vegetarians, gelatin isn't an option.
