Tips:
- To achieve the perfect toasted coconut flavor, toast the coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet and keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Use fresh, high-quality marshmallows for the best results. Avoid using marshmallows that are stale or have been sitting out for too long.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows, as this will make them tough and chewy. Cook them just long enough to allow the sugar to caramelize and the marshmallows to become gooey.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can toast the marshmallows under the broiler. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- For a fun and festive presentation, skewer the toasted coconut marshmallows and drizzle them with melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
