Happy National Toasted Marshmallow Day! On August 30, today celebrates one of America’s favorite fire-roasted treats. Be sure to stock up on marshmallows so you can celebrate!
Get your friends together and gather up some firewood. Grab a few long sticks and a bag of marshmallows. Afterwards, make plans for a great night!
Toasted marshmallows are a special part of summer evenings around a bonfire. Also, what better way to kick off a long weekend than to enjoy a delicious, warm, gooey, toasted marshmallow? Add a pair of graham crackers and a chocolate bar – and ask for s’more!
Depending upon personal preference, heat marshmallows to various degrees. Some like them gently toasted. Others look for a charred outer layer.
Charring a marshmallow is simple. Hold it in the flame until the sugar catches fire. Then, carefully blow it out. It’s important not to wave it around as you’ll only fan the flames.
Marshmallows also come in a variety of flavors and sizes for maximum toasting opportunities.
For a fun alternative, try roasting Marshmallow Peeps®. Watch them closely as the granular sugar coating will burn more quickly.

Believe it or not, marshmallows date back to Ancient Egypt. The mallow plant provided a sap the Egyptians used to create a candy with nuts and honey.
Ligonier, Indiana holds an annual Marshmallow Festival. It is also the marshmallow capital of the world. How sweet is that?
Homemade marshmallows use sugar, unflavored gelatin, corn syrup, and flavoring.
