I accidently bought the wrong marshmellows! Help?!

I assume your recipe is calling for mini marshmallows - for every cup of mini marshmallows use 10 of the big ones.

Just be sure to keep your heat on low so they melt slowly. If they heat to quickly, they get to hot and the texture completely changes. Instead of having soft, chewy krispy treats you'll have hard, nasty treats.

Trust me I've made them millions of times. I love me some krispy treats!

The marshmallow crispy treats recipe I had said you could use 4 cups of mini marshmallows or 40 large ones. Either way, it worked out to about a 10ounce bag of marshmallows with 1/4 cup of margarine and about 5 cups rice cereal or cornflakes.

My favorite variation is to use 1/4 cup margarine and 10oz marshmallows.
Melt the marg and stir in the marshmallows until melted and bubbly and then
add 1/2 cup peanutbutter. Stir that in and let it all bubble again.
Stir in 5 cups crushed cornflakes.
Remove from heat.
Add all or part of a bag of chocolate chips if you like them and have some.
Stir it all up and spread it in a 9"x13" pan. Let it cool about 15 minutes, then cut into squares. Let it finish cooling to room temp before eating.

You can use the big marshmallows.

You can cut the marshmallows in half or in quarters.

Or you can use them as the size they are but they will have to cook a bit longer in the butter or margarine.

if you have the receipt take them back. Only why you take them back is by the marshmallow bag is not open. if it is then you have to keep them and buy a new bag.

you can still use them just go by the weight of the bag 10 ozs. is what a bag weighs it will take a little longer for them to melt so just keep stirring

you can still use them because they are just going to melt anyway!

you can still use them

Just use like half of what you'd use with the smaller kind.

Buy new ones.

Cut them or return them and get smaller ones
