I love making Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries on warm nights. I find they bring a little campfire joy to the table and they take just minutes to pull together. I first learned creative ways to use strawberries in treats from using strawberries in muffins.
Dad James showed me how to hover marshmallows over the flame while Mom Eva kept the graham crumbs ready for us.
Your Ingredients List
- Fresh strawberries
- Marshmallows
- Skewers
- Chocolate sauce (optional)
- Graham cracker crumbs (optional)
My Go-To Equipment
I use a grill or a broiler, a tray, tongs, and a clean bowl for crumbs. For another quick berry idea I often check cheesecake stuffed strawberries for more inspiration.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Wash and dry the strawberries.
- Skewer the strawberries with wooden or metal skewers.
- Preheat a grill or your broiler.
- Place marshmallows on top of each strawberry.
- Toast the marshmallows until they are golden brown and gooey.
- Remove from heat and drizzle with chocolate sauce and graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Healthy Twists on a Classic
Try mini marshmallows or use dark chocolate drizzle for less sugar. For a different take on berries and sweets, see my notes on using strawberries in muffins for more ways to pair fruit and treats.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I serve these on a small platter with extra graham crumbs and napkins. They pair well with iced tea or a cold lemonade for a simple summer snack.
Getting It Just Right
Keep the heat low so marshmallows toast evenly without burning. Hold the skewers a bit away from direct flame and turn slowly for a golden color.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftover toasted marshmallow strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Reheat briefly under the broiler if you want the marshmallows soft again.
Enjoy Every Moment
I make these when friends drop by or when my sister Jennifer wants a quick treat. They are simple, sweet, and made to be shared.
A Few Common Questions
Can I use frozen berries for Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries?
I do not recommend frozen berries. They release water when thawed and will not hold the marshmallow well.
How long do Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries stay fresh?
They are best the day you make them. Stored in the fridge, they keep for about one day but the marshmallows will firm up.
Can I make Toasted Marshmallow Strawberries ahead of time?
You can prep the strawberries and skewers ahead, but toast the marshmallows just before serving for best texture and flavor.
