If you are looking for a sweet pick me up treat, this is it. Plus you can make as much or as little as you want. Depending on the position of your oven rack, and how determined your broiler is, there is a good chance that you can burn the marshmallows, so just flipped on the over light and keep an eye on it. No need for more than 2 minutes. One of these smores and a glass of skim milk and I have my chocolate/sweet fix for at least a day or two... okay, maybe just until tomorrow night.
