The Marshmallow Mistake… Times Two.

  • Burned s'mores pie marshmallow layerWhat’s with me and s’mores?

    Please recall an earlier recipe for disaster- the “Absolutely Hideous N’More S’mores” post where I revealed my ability to screw up the country’s most basic campfire dessert (because I tried to get fancy).

    So this time, while making S’mores Pie for the 4th of July! (yes, with an exclamation point!) I burned the marshmallows to a carcinogenic crisp (see first photo) when broiling the top of the little pies.  Good news! (yes, with an exclamation point!)- I successfully scraped the marshmallow layers off to start over.  I thought I was home free.

    I didn’t know that I would do the exact same thing again.  After burning the second take of marshmallows (see second picture), and setting off our smoke alarm for the second time (sorry, neighbors), I was tempted to quit- but the allure of the s’more kept me at it. My third layer of marshmallows broiled in about 30 seconds, and I pulled them out just in time.

    Moral of the story: keep the fireworks out of the home on the 4th, and watch your marshmallows as they broil.  Got it.
