We do for the time being.
It’s ok if you fall apart sometimes. S’mores fall a part, and we still love them.
Please sir, can I have s’more? If the marshmallow holds it all together (we said it), it’s important to do it right. Here are some quick tips to achieve marshmallow perfection:
🔥 For the light golden-brown color and a perfectly cooked interior, you want to find the subtle flames at the base of the fire and be patient. OMG! The whole thing is on fire!
🔥 We’re okay. Take two. There is a season (turn, turn, turn)…Frequently turn the marshmallow as it hovers over the embers rather than the flames.
🔥 Putting a marshmallow over the flames will result in what appears to be a fast cooking method, but the quick exposure will simply char the outside, leaving the inside tough and cool. Some like the char. Go with what feels right.
🔥 Caution. You may be tempted to swing the roasting stick back and forth at a rapid pace causing the marshmallow to launch through the air making contact with the forehead of your friend. Former friend? We can all laugh about it, right? No? Avoid launching flaming marshmallows. Metaphor for life. You’re welcome.
P.S. There is s’more? Be sure to follow proper campfire procedures when tending to and putting out your fires. Always drown, stir, feel, and repeat until the area is cool to the touch.
