How to measure marshmallow creme
The chart entry is “Marshmallow spread, store-bought, 1 cup = 4 1/3 oz = 123 g”. The chart lists the homemade version separately at 72 grams per cup, so a recipe written for one does not convert cleanly to the other, and it gives 128 grams for the best-known branded jar. Marshmallow creme sticks to the cup, so a scale gives the most consistent result. A half cup weighs about 62 grams and a quarter cup about 31 grams. 7 ounces, 198 grams, is about 1.6 cups.
Sources: 123 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Marshmallow spread, store-bought, 1 cup = 4 1/3 oz = 123 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
