Stand Back Smore's! The toasted Marshmallow has a new best friend~

A while back I was cruising my favorite social network site and I saw that a friend of mine was having a toasted marshmallow milkshake. I'm sorry, what was that? Did I really just read that 2 of my favorite things: toasted marshmallows and their gooey charred goodness can be blended with thick creamy vanilla ice cream?? Sign me up just on principle. 

So I tried it. I took my marshmallows and put them under my broiler (careful they get big when they cook), scooped my ice cream, and blended away. And let me tell you, O. M. G. It was amazingly good. Like freakishly good. Like there-is-not-enough-hot-yoga-on-the-planet-that-will-help-my-waistline-if-I-have-these-as-often-as-I-want-to good.

Try it- you'll love it. I promise.

8 marshmallows
2 cups milk
4 cups of vanilla ice cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Wrap a sheet pan in foil. Put the marshmallows on the foil covered pan and then place under the broiler. I would recommend that you put it on the second or third rack from the top. The marshmallows expand when they toast. Marshmallow burned on your heating element = less than fabulous.  Roast the marshmallows and rotate them to get at least 2 sides done.

This is not about the golden and beautifully toasted marshmallow. This is about the charred burnt black marshmallow. I mean don't char them to the point that they aren't marshmallows anymore, but good and black is a beautiful thing here.

Toss half the marshmallows in the blender with the other ingredients. Blend (duh!). Garnish with the remaining marshmallows.

So. Stinking. Good.
