Title: Marshmallow Mayhem
Post by: Turtlekid1 on September 15, 2010, 05:52:05 PM
As summer draws to a close, we bid our farewells to goofing off, vacations, and free time in general.  Of course, with the weather getting colder, camping and campfires become a much less common sight.  No more hot dog or marshmallow roasts until the next summer.  This makes me think: how do others like their marshmallows?  Personally, I stick the goods right into the flame until they catch fire and don't blow the fire out until the marshmallows are coated in a pleasingly black outer shell - nice and crispy on the outside, sweet and gooey on the inside. 

How about you?

Roasted, but still white. They are good in s'mores that way. :)

I like mine straight out of the bag. You just can't beat taking them out and popping them in your mouth!

Completely burned is the way to go.

Lightly browned.

People eating black burned marshmallows: enjoy your cancer!

We know, we know - everything is carcinogenic.

But the thread is about how we enjoy our marshmallows, not how unhealthy they are if cooked a certain way.

I like my marshmallows without the marshmallows.

I cook mine over an open fire, typically. That hasn't happened often in recent memory though..

Golden-brown. I've had burnt black marshmallows a couple times before, they're not fun to eat.

The interiors of the burnt ones taste mighty delicious, but the actual carcinogenic part is gross.

When marshmallows are present, I usually have at least one normal marshmallow, one black-burned one (intentionally or otherwise), and one I make a conscious effort to make golden-brown.

Agreed with Solid. I'm too afraid of burning my marshmallows, so I usually settle for just making them hot.

I usually roast them on the fork on the stove...and usually fail in blowing out the flames before my marshmallow goes black. But I try to get it golden-brown.
