Title: Roasting marshmallow's for Smores
Post by: huntandjeep on May 22, 2017, 05:20:40 PM
I know its an easy concept but me and the wife disagree every time we go camping on how they are cooked. She's of the opinion that they have to be golden brown . I on the other hand believe in catching them on fire , than eating off  the "crust" and putting the rest in the Smores.
How do you do it ?

Slow heat until mushy then light em up blow em out.  Stainless roasting rack sandwichs em together complete and works well too.

I'm a golden brown guy but will eat with the char broilers if I mess it up. The real deal however is using a reeses cup instead of just plain chocolate, if you're not using a reeses cup you're doing it wrong!

Low and slow till they're golden brown for me. Who wants to eat marshmallow ashes?

While I normally would wholeheartedly agree with this, I'm really curious about these Butterfinger cups I see floating around. I can't help but wonder.

I've been known to use a Reese's every now and than  :tup:
@ Jackalope the Butterfinger cups are ok.

Depends on size of the mallow but with regular sized, burn the outside, peel off and eat separate then slowly brown inside for s'more. That way you get more of an even distribution of mallow to chocolate to cracker

 :yike: golden brown slowly all day!

Pretty sure once blackened, they are known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Oh man, this could get ugly. Low and slow, golden brown and hot  all the way through .  Takes time and a gentle  touch of heat.

Definitely golden brown... don't want to taint the 🍫.  I actually had my first of the year in the back yard last night! Also, I noticed if you have too "perfect" a roasting stick the mallow will get loose and spin instead of rotating properly.  8)

Low and slow. 
1. Push the choc. square into the mallow before roasting....skip the cracker.
2. Smoosh a cooked mallow between regular corn tortilla chips....Tastes like carmel corn.
3. Stuff a gummy bear inside mallow before roasting.....mmm
4. Roast one of the big mallows then use the stick to whip it off, makes a heck of a splat on a tree. PSA-(make sure its not on fire if you do this)
5. Dip raw mallow in Fireball then roast hot and quick, makes em cinnamony/crunchy.

It took quite a few beers and years to learn all these.  :chuckle:

After all the hate I'm not sure I should say it, but I kind of agree.  I've never been a graham cracker fan and I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate.

As far as marshmallows though, slow and golden, pull the outside off, eat it, toast the remaining again slow and golden, repeat until licking stick.   :chuckle:

All of this marshmallow talk is making me anxious.
I used to be a golden brown kid. Sadly, my love affair with roasted mallows and smores ended when i was 6 or 7. We were all hanging around the fire with our sticks and smore fixings, having a good old time when, horror struck!
I was slow roasting for the golden brown goodness, salivating in anticipation of the first smore of summer when one of the "flamers" in the group lost control, sending the flaming bit of he!! on to my bare knee. Chaos erupted. My first reaction was to brush it off, it just smeared the flame and burnt my hand as well. Screams could be heard all across the lake. People went nuts. Dad dove into the fray and doused it with his beer, yelling at mom to grab a wet towel. She had no clue what was going on and yell back to get his own wet towel, leading to more yelling.
Basically that one moment of terror ruined the weekend. No swimming for me. A bit over 50 years and I still remember that evening every time i look at my knee, and see the scar. Have never roasted or even eaten a mallow since.
I get nervous any time i see one near a fire. The only mallows i have anything   to to with now are the colored ones for hot cocoa but I don't put them in cocoa.I use them for trout bait.
I must have some post mallow burn syndrome or something.
Enjoy your mallows people but BE CAREFULL. Those little puffy things are pure evil! All it takes is some heat to release he!!.

Remember in the movie Ghost Busters, when they lit up the marshmallow man ? Picture that evil demon from Hades attacking your knee. Maybe I need therapy, or beer !
Actually, I am going to go fishing and drown some of the little hellions. That will teach them.

Marshmallows are too sweet for me to actually like, and about one s'more per year will do me, but I enjoy slow roasting the perfect marshmallow to a golden brown, so hot all through that it wants to drip off of the stick.   Then give it to a kid...

Dad dove into the fray and doused it with his beer, yelling at mom to grab a wet towel. She had no clue what was going on and yell back to get his own wet towel, leading to more yelling.

Picturing this in my head, I'm laughing thinking of my family trips as a kid.  I can hear my mom yelling "get your own dang towel!" from the camper while my dad tries to stop the bleeding from whatever dumb thing me and my brothers had done  :chuckle:

As for the s'mores... golden brown if I can get it, but I wont reject a burnt one.  I haven't had one in...25 years maybe?  Might be time.

I also go with the Reese's, very solid choice.
but I've eaten some of the Butterfingers cups, might be time to try one on a s'more......

For Smores - golden brown
Marshmallow by itself - set it on fire, that way you can pull of the cooked part and eat it then put the rest back over the fire and do it again.

If you really want to go sweet, make banana boats:
 
Split the bananas lengthwise, but don't cut all the way through.
The goal is to create a boat to hold the ingredients.
Load the bananas 1/4 cup each of the caramel bits, chocolate chips (we prefer Hershey milk chocolate squares to chocolate chips) and mini marshmallows.
Optional - Crumble 1 whole graham cracker onto each loaded banana.
Wrap individually in 8-by-10-inch squares of foil, and then place near the campfire to melt into a gooey mess.
Open up and eat with a spoon.

I have a marshmallow roasting story

When I was a kid, we were at our property on Hood Canal, roasting marshmallows. All of us kids were using willow sticks to put the marshmallows on and hold over the fire. My sister was one of "those people" who no matter what she did, she caught her marshmallow on fire, and she hated them burnt.
So as always, she was not paying attention, caught hers on fire and proceeding to whip her flaming marshmallow back and forth trying to put it out. That just made it flame worse. After whipping it two or three times with everyone yelling at he to stop, the flaming marshmallow came flying off and nails my dad smack in the middle of his forehead and stuck!  :yike:
I can still see his surprised face with a burning marshmallow stuck on his forehead.
He tried to pull it off, and only pulled the outer shell off. The rest stayed burning the crap out of his forehead. He had a massive blister that my Mom would have to pop and drain, and the scab lasted all summer.  :chuckle:

Post by: gaddy on May 24, 2017, 03:30:55 PM
I can feel his pain!
@gaddy - good stuff - I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  Hilarious. :chuckle:
True story, If you could have seen a young boy with his knee on fire, His hand on fire, jumping around and screaming, a whole bunch of kids running and screaming to get away (I think I actually squealed louder than the girls), Then you might understand the Horror that the mallows can bring.They are evil I tell ya!
Timberstalker, I hope he didn't end up with a scar?
Mine ended up being a very deep 3d burn, the hand was superficial.

I can only handle a little but of sweet stuff, and smores are way over that line.  Not diabetic or anything, just can't do the taste.

Don't ever mixup the pretty colored ones with the ones you buy for trout bait!
I know someone who tried a garlic shrimp trout bait mellow on a bet, I mean it is a marshmallow, how bad could it be?
That was about the nastiest thing I he ever tasted :rolleyes:
It took hours to get that nasty garlic taste out.

What part of "not for human consumption" did you not understand?   :chuckle: :chuckle:  I did the same and it took about 11 1/2 beers to get over the taste.  It was still there but I didn't care anymore.  By the way, if you have to eat one DO NOT eat the ones with glitter!! :chuckle:

We did what every red blooded amurican would do and took "not for human consumption" as a challenge, I believe in this case, they were right, LOL

Glitter, just think, every time you burp you would have a glitter cloud along with the stink, LOL
