Yes, I know I horrified you years ago by charring my marshmellow while you witnessed it. But really, the way I PREFER it is to patiently toast it so it is all melty inside and toasty on the outside... but something from my childhood says it's not REALLY done until I set it on FIRE!! :)

Okay, I've GOT to find some vegan marshmallows.

I like marshmallows. As long as they're not charcoal and don't burn my tongue, I'm happy.

You missed a few options

1) Toast until you can slip the first layer off. Do so, eat and enjoy. Then return the now skinned marshmallow to the fire until you can slip the second layer off. Etc until you can't take it any more and eat the whole thing.

2) Toast until the middle is soft but not entirely melty, and then place atop a piece of milk chocolate atop a half of a graham cracker, then smoosh the whole thing down with the other half of the graham cracker, wait until the chocolate softens and gobble.

Honestly, toasted marshmallows without smores are of limited interest.

You didn't list my choice: Marshmallows are disgusting.

I now feel compelled to admit that I'm a mutant freak who has determined that marshmallows can also be roasted (or toasted--I'm not hardcore about which verb) over the element on an electric stove.
