Roasting marshmallows may seem simple. But there’s a right way and a wrong way. Here’s the right way.

You Will Need

  • A campfire
  • A package of medium to large marshmallows
  • A roasting fork or long wooden stick
How To Roast the Ultimate Marshmallow: Make sure the fire is perfect for roasting

Step 1: Make sure the fire is perfect for roasting

Check the fire and make sure it has areas that have burned down to embers. They should be orange, but not bursting with flame.

Sit upwind of the fire. You don’t want smoke and flames in your face.

How To Roast the Ultimate Marshmallow: Prepare a fork or stick

Step 2: Prepare a fork or stick

Choose a marshmallow and place it at the end of a roasting fork or a long wooden stick.

How To Roast the Ultimate Marshmallow: Position the marshmallow over the coals

Step 3: 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.

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

How To Roast the Ultimate Marshmallow: Learn advance techniques

Step 4: 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.

The original marshmallow contained extracts from the root of the marshmallow plant, which gave it its spongy quality. Now most marshmallows use gelatin.

Bear in mind: marshamallows start getting stale once you open the package....in a week, say, they become too hard, too gummy, and their delicate flavor starts to turn, and roasting them will not fix this. Use fresh marshmallows -- they're cheap!

Camper emptor: Roasting marshmallows creates acrylamides, which are highly carcinogenic. They are yummy, though. Just don't make them one of your basic food groups!

Dude what are you sayin? acrylolipopacides? Roasted marshmallow ARE one of the basic food groups. You got your Pizza group, your Deep Fried group, Your carbonated fermented hops group and then the charred sugar group that I believe Roasted Marshmallow fall neatly within. whoaaa...did you see that? I think my heart just stopped for a few seconds. Next time dude check your nutritional facts...
