How to Toast a Marshmallow

Most people think of toasting marshmallows over an open fire when they think of this tasty treat. However, there are many different ways to enjoy them! Here are a few ideas:

• Roast them in the oven – Just place your marshmallows on a baking sheet and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn!
• Microwave them – If you’re in a hurry, you can microwave your marshmallows for about 10 seconds. Just be careful not to overcook them or they’ll become tough.
• Make s’mores – This classic campfire treat is made by sandwiching a roasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between two graham crackers. Yum!
• Enjoy them with fruit – grilled pineapple or bananas are a delicious way to enjoy marshmallows without all the sugar. Just roast your fruit on the grill or in the oven (along with your marshmallows) and enjoy!
