Alice Teunis says
Our store was out of mini marshmallows so I bought a jar of the Marshmallow Creme. I can’t find anyplace that gives the equavilant of how much creme equals a cup of mini’s. Can anyone help?
Kelsey says
Hey Alice – a 7-ounce jar of marshmallow creme may be used in place of 4 cups of miniature marshmallows or 40 large marshmallows. You will use around 1.75 ounces for a cup of mini marshmallows, or go a bit more if you want extra. Hope that helps.
