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.
Thank you so much. This has helped me out so much!!
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.
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.
Everything else I have seen says 7 oz marshmallow creme equals 1 1\2 cups?
Ty for the Do it yourself conversion. I just tried melting the 16 marshmallows with corn syrup Took forever in a double boiler and it was super sticky But it worked!
Hmm... thinking 7oz's is 7 oz's ? Maybe weighing out 7oz's of marmallows on a scale?
MARSHMALLOWS
Ten large marshmallows = 1 cup miniature marshmallows; 4 large marshmallows = 1 ounce; 1/2 cup mini marshmallows = 1 ounce.
MARSHMALLOW CREME OR FLUFF
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.

It never said anything about the amount of choc chips or even list them in the list of ingredients??
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
i think that u should weigh the marshmallows out 2 7oz and then heat them up in the microwave til they melt. but that's just me.
ausome
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?
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!
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
If 4 Lg. marshmallows = 1 oz. and you need 7 oz. of marshmallow cream for a batch of fudge.....4 x 7 = 28 marshmallows
If 4 equals 1oz wouldn't 44 equal 11ozs not 7 ozs you would only need 28 large marshmallows
Regarding your above calculations, would you use 28 large or small marshmallows ?
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?
My jar of Jet-Puffed marshmallow Creme (Kraft) says 7 oz. net WEIGHT. So it is not volume, at least for the creme.
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.
Regarding your previous calculations, did you use 28 large or small marshmallows?
I wanna subtistute marshmallow creme for a 10 ounce bag of marshmallows, how much creme would I use.
