I Toasted a Marshmallow ... and it was good!

I've had this craving for toasted marshmallows. I can't just can't make a campfire to roast marshmallows.
Besides ... I don't do campfires! I've been thinking ... and thinking. How can I have a toasted marshmallow ... golden brown from the heat ... so gooey good when I put it in my mouth!
I am usually good at improvising ... thinking of ways to do things in unconventional ways ... but, strangely enough ... usually work!
I knew what I would do ... I went to the silverware drawer ... got a fork. I skewered the marshmallow on the fork. I had already turned the burner on high on the stove ... I held the marshmallow just above the red-hot eye.
My marshmallow turned golden as I turned it around and around being careful. Once it lit up with a flame ... I blew it out as I kept turning the marshmallow around. One has to be very careful ... doing this. I don't encourage anyone but ... me to do it 
I toasted the marshmallow ... and it was good!

@just4him Just be careful if you do ... sometimes, the marshmallow can catch fire ... I blow it out and don't hold it as close.

Yes! It works really well ... just stick your fork into the marshmallow ... and over the red electric burner ... turn it slowly. Don't let it catch fire ... if it does it was easy for me to blow it out. I let it cool for a minute when it was golden ... then I ate it! So good!

I think I have done that marshmellow over the burner thing too, but I don't make a habit of it, it is a waste of heat. You can make marshmellows in the microwave but they just melt and don't toast. I used to make them when I was using my firepit but it needs to be junked at this point.

I've never tried the marshmallows in the microwave. I wanted to toast them over the fire in the grill but ... we gave out of gas, ha!

Most could see how this could become a disaster and that someone would have to clean up @GrannyGee
But, sometimes ya' just gotta' do certain things.

Ha! One has to be very careful not to let it become a disaster ... the good thing was ... there wasn't any messy cleanup. Oh yes, one does have to do certain things, ha!

I have used this method several times. When there isn't a campfire available, one must improvise! I prefer mine to be completely burnt. Blow out the flame and let it cool a minute and yum!

@GrannyGee Yes that's it. You roast them over a campfire.
