How to Roast Marshmallows

One of the things kids enjoy during summer is food - particularly sweets. If you are a mother, you definitely know this, because there probably is no child in this world who doesn't like the taste of sweet food. My kids enjoy marshmallows and one of the most exciting things they do almost every week, is to put their marshmallows on the grill. If you haven't been into this, here's how:

 1. Obtain a clean, long-handled stick or barbecue fork suitable for spearing marshmallows.

 2. Push one or two marshmallows onto the end of the stick or barbecue fork so the entire marshmallow is secured.

3. Hold the marshmallow over the fire or coals, positioning it so the marshmallow is suspended 1 to 3 inches above the heat source.

4. Rotate your utensil when the underside is a warm brown color, so the uncooked side hovers above the fire.

5. Continue to rotate the marshmallow until all sides are golden brown.

6. Remove the marshmallow from the fire, keeping in mind that metal utensils can get pretty hot on the end nearest the fire - handle with care.

7. When it has cooled, side the golden brown goo gently off the utensil.

8. Eat.
