The Perfectly Roasted Marshmallow

Hiking Tips

We’ve all seen them. You know the kind I’m talking about. They literally spend less than five seconds actually trying to roast their marshmallow before they thrust it into the inferno trying to speed up the process. Of course, we know the results. In another two seconds the innocent ball of processed sugar erupts into flames. The outside begins to blister and turn a black that only a blast furnace could make more heinous. As the unrecognizable blob begins to take on the likeness of a charcoal briquette, the person actually tries to convince those looking on in horror that they actually like them that way. No they don’t. Nobody likes blackened sugar. So let me help you with a few pointers to enable anybody to roast the perfect marshmallow.

To tell you the truth, there is only one pointer. Patience. That’s it. No great secret there. Have patience with your fire. Have patience while you’re roasting your poor defenseless sugar glob. They are so much better if you take your time. Trust me. They’re worth the wait! A marshmallow roasted to perfection will end with a mouth-watering crunchy outer crust of caramelized sugar that is out of this world. So much enjoyment from something so simple. Kind of like life was meant to be.

To help everyone out we’ve produced a handy-dandy tutorial video. Hope you like. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Have a great week,

Mike
