You will need: a campfire, a package of medium to large marshmallows and a roasting fork or long wooden stick. Step 1. Check the fire and make sure it has areas that have burned down to embers. They should be orange, but not bursting with flame. Sit upwind of the fire. You don't want smoke and flames in your face. Step 2. Choose a marshmallow and place it at the end of a roasting fork or a long wooden stick. Step 3. Place your marshmallow approximately 3 to 5 inches above the hot coals. Now slowly turn the stick so that the marshmallow browns evenly on all sides and gets warm and gooey inside. This should take about 15 to 30 seconds. If you burn a few marshmallows, don't be discouraged. Remember the Buddhist saying Fall down seven times, get up eight”. Step 4. Now that you've perfected the marshmallow basics you can move on to more advanced techniques. These include: roasting multiple marshmallows on a stick, making a classics' more, and the controversial Joan of Arc marshmallow. Experiment! Soon you will become a marshmallow master.
