Roasting Time

Another good part of Fall fires: roast­ing marsh­mal­lows & s’mores. The kids love that this can hap­pen all times of the year.  They of course never turn down the chance to have a marshmallow.

Some of us like ours a lit­tle on the over cooked side.  Oh crispy marsh­mal­low encased in car­cino­gen, how sweet you are!

It may or may not cause oth­ers to cringe in hor­ror. He appar­ently did not share my love of the dark­ened marshmallow.

He inad­ver­tently did share my love for the burned marsh­mal­low.  But that’s really only because he hasn’t fig­ured out how to actu­ally roast it so it doesn’t catch on fire.  I am not sure he really wanted to burn it.

The only neg­a­tive of s’mores is the need to bathe chil­dren after.  Turns out that some chil­dren can be very messy.  Go fig­ure?  Kids can be messy!  Quick stop the presses.

Burned m-mallows are the best!

I’m not a fan of the burnt ones, personally.

Another messy and slightly less known, but equally delicious, campfire treat:

Slice a banana down the middle, stuff it with mini-marshmallows and chocolate squares, and wrap it all up in tin foil as you would a corn cob. Drop it down into the coals of the fire for a good 10 minutes or so, then remove, let cool so you don’t burn yourself, and dig in.

That one is way too black for me. I love them a light golden color. Yum!

I will admit to loving burned marshmallows. I like burned hot dogs too! Love your pictures!
