I prefer my marshmallows plain. They make giant square marshmallows, you know, just for S'Mores. You can roast them over the fire, peel off the toasted layer, roast them some more (S'MORE!) and do it again. Several times.<br /><br />For those bemoaning the fact that marshmallows are not the same without a campfire...you can roast them over your stove burner, you know! All it takes is a long fork with a wooden handle. Or a regular fork with an oven mitt. Works for electric AND gas burners.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-51175870519593920362018-01-12T16:06:12.915-05:002018-01-12T16:06:12.915-05:00I'm an outdoor gal.

We have a family weenie roast at our house in the fall and I include smores because more people like making them than eating them. My step daughter is the only one who loves them. She will chowdown on several. I only eat the hershey choc bar.Debby https://www.blogger.com/profile/02574297621214864538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-53441189508606540542018-01-12T15:57:14.819-05:002018-01-12T15:57:14.819-05:00"Jelly beans disgusting?

The problem with marketing them is twofold. They really do taste best when the marshmallow is roasted over a fire, and they are only good when they are fresh and hot. Selling a kit to make them at home would be silly, you can just buy the ingredients cheaper than a kit would be.<br /><br />Yes, i used to enjoy more than one (and still would if i wasn't determined to strictly limit sugar, my addiction).

They are great made in the microwave but still lack the "crispy crust on the marshmallow" as Bijoux mentioned. Still, you're right about the ambiance of outdoors, freedom, and FIRE adding to the enjoyment.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-83617077482686755302018-01-12T11:18:41.959-05:002018-01-12T11:18:41.959-05:00I'm with you Joe on everything including Barne...I'm with you Joe on everything including Barney, Smores are OK but I'd a whole lot rather eat fruitcake, how about we replace smores with fruitcake...I'd go for that.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-38300737772657284312018-01-12T10:09:35.474-05:002018-01-12T10:09:35.474-05:00I've never camped, nor do I have any intention...I've never camped, nor do I have any intention of ever camping, but I like the toasted marshmallows.
