It’s officially campfire season! The temperature is dropping, so pull your sweaters and boots out of storage, pile up the blankets, and head out to the backyard for some old fashion campfire chats. To complete your fall activity, learn how to roast the perfect marshmallow. After, you can piece together the perfect s’more and devour it in a few bites.

Perfecting Your Marshmallow

  1. First, it all starts with the correct flame height and types of coal. Optimal campfires for roasting marshmallows should have low flame and hot coals.
  2. Before you grab a stick out of the woods or a flammable house object, do your research on “fire-safe” tools to hold your marshmallow. Consider bamboo sticks, wire spears, or fancy extendable sticks for roasting at every angle.
  3. Safety comes first! Set boundaries with the kids of how close to the fire is too close. Mark off the campfire with tape so the kiddos don’t cross the line.
  4. Keep the s’mores ingredients on deck! When the marshmallow is fresh off the fire, that’s been the flavor is best. Shove it between graham crackers and chocolate to enjoy the ooey-gooey, warm marshmallow.
  5. A little fire never hurt anyone. If you enjoy your marshmallows slightly burnt, be sure to quickly blow it out, and assist the kids if this is their flavor preference as well.
