Mini Marshmallows
Mini marshmallows weigh only 50g per cup because they are mostly air and sugar. They melt faster and more evenly than large marshmallows, making them better for rice cereal treats and hot chocolate. Ten large marshmallows equal roughly 1 cup of mini marshmallows by weight. Once the bag is opened, they dry out and harden within a few weeks. Store in a sealed container or freezer bag. Frozen marshmallows stay soft for months.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
