Mini vs regular marshmallows
I have a recipe that calls for 500 grams of mini marshmallows. I only have regular marshmallows (340 grams in bag). Does anyone know how many regular marshmallows I would need?
Best Answer
The nice thing about recipes that are using weight instead volume or numbers is that you can simply use scales to weigh the amount you need.
If you absolutely don’t have a scale, I recommend you count the number of marshmallows in the pack, then determine how much one weighs. From there, it should be easy to calculate how many you need to get 500g or how many from a second pack you still need to add.
So one marshmallow weighs:
[340 : (number of marshmallows in the pack)] g.You still need:
[ 160 : (weight of one marshmallow)] marshmallows.
(Using the previously determined weight.)
If your calculations give you a fraction of a marshmallow, either cut one (eyeballing is probably fine) or round to the nearest whole number.
