How to make a crispy snack in the microwave

Ingredients

Marshmallows

Preparation method

Line a microwave-safe container with a sheet of baking paper.

Spread the marshmallows over the paper, leaving plenty of space between them. During heating, they may increase in size and stick together.

Microwave on high power for about 1 to 2 minutes. Monitor the process closely, as the time may vary depending on the power of the device and the amount used.

Remove the container and wait for the marshmallows to cool completely. It is during this stage that they gain their crunchy texture.

If they are still very soft after cold, return to the microwave for short periods, 10 to 15 seconds, until the desired doneness is reached.

Be careful when removing from the microwave

Marshmallows get very hot right after heating, especially on the inside. Therefore, it is important to wait a few minutes before touching or tasting the snack.

It is also worth watching the preparation during the entire time in the microwave to prevent the sugar from burning. Once cold, the result is a sweet and crunchy snack that can be eaten alone or used to accompany other desserts.
