    The roasted marshmallow must be caught fire atleast once to be awesomely amazing. This is so stupid. You have to have flames coming off of the fire.

    you know for a really easy way to do it at home is to use a lighter or a candle and a fork.
    Light the candle or lighter, stick a BIG marshmellow on a fork and roast it over the lighter or candle, put between a slab of chocolate and two gram crackers and your good to go.

    i roasted marshmallows last night at my brothers friends house. IT WAS AWESOME! Except when the smoke got in my eyes. i think its better when its brown. For all ppl who wants to make a marshmallow last longer,roast ur marshmallow,eeat the outside,then roast it again. If its a jumbo size u could roast it like 7 times. If its a small one about 5.

    @mcrss26 Basically you stick the marshmellow right into a flame and take it out and blow on it immediately. That’s my favourite way to do it :P
