They should be orange, but not bursting with flame.

]]> 43713 2 26 Tip Sit upwind of the fire. You don’t want smoke and flames in your face.

]]> 43714 3 31 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25332/31.jpg Prepare a fork or stick Choose a marshmallow and place it at the end of a roasting fork or a long wooden stick.

]]> 43715 4 36 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25332/36.jpg Position the marshmallow over the coals Place your marshmallow approximately 3 to 5 inches above the hot coals. Now slowly turn the stick so that the marshmallow browns evenly on all sides and gets warm and gooey inside. This should take about 15 to 30 seconds.

]]> 43716 5 50 Tip If you burn a few marshmallows, don’t be discouraged. Remember the Buddhist saying: “Fall down seven times, get up eight.”

]]> 43717 6 58 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25332/58.jpg Learn advance techniques Now that you’ve perfected the marshmallow basics you can move on to more advanced techniques. These include: roasting multiple marshmallows on a stick, making a classic s’more, and the controversial Joan of Arc marshmallow. Experiment. Soon you will become a marshmallow master.

]]> 43718 7 76 Fact The original marshmallow contained extracts from the root of the marshmallow plant, which gave it its spongy quality. Now most marshmallows use gelatin.
