Introduction

Indulge in the perfect blend of creamy Swiss chocolate and fluffy marshmallows, toasted to perfection on the Arteflame grill. With its unique flat cooktop, this method ensures a rich, smooth melt with just the right amount of caramelized crunch.

Ingredients

• 12 large marshmallows
• 6 ounces Swiss chocolate (milk or dark), finely chopped
• 6 wooden or metal skewers
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
4. Light the paper and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes until the flat top cooktop is properly heated.

Step 2: Prepare the Marshmallows

1. Skewer two marshmallows onto each wooden or metal skewer.
2. Brush each marshmallow lightly with melted butter to enhance caramelization.

Step 3: Toast the Marshmallows

1. Place the skewers over the hotter section of the flat cooktop, near the center but not directly over the flame.
2. Turn the skewers every few seconds to ensure an even golden-brown toast.
3. Once the marshmallows develop a crispy outer layer, remove them from the heat.

Step 4: Melt the Swiss Chocolate

1. Move the skewers to a slightly cooler zone on the grill.
2. Sprinkle finely chopped Swiss chocolate over the toasted marshmallows, letting the residual heat slightly melt the chocolate.
3. Allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Sprinkle a touch of sea salt over the melted Swiss chocolate for an elevated flavor.
2. Serve the skewers while warm and savor the rich, toasted sweetness.

Tips

• Using high-quality Swiss chocolate will significantly enhance the richness and smoothness of the dessert.
• Be sure to rotate the marshmallows constantly to achieve an evenly toasted exterior without burning.
• Brushing the marshmallows with melted butter before toasting adds a delicious caramelized layer.

Variations

1. Salted Caramel Swiss Skewers: Drizzle with warm caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added depth.
2. Nutty Delight: Roll the skewers in crushed hazelnuts or almonds after the chocolate has melted.
3. Berry Infused: Add slices of fresh strawberries or raspberries between the marshmallows for a fruity twist.
4. Spicy Swiss Chocolate: Sprinkle chili powder or cinnamon onto the melted chocolate for a spicy kick.
5. Cookie Crunch: Crumble graham crackers or shortbread cookies over the melted chocolate for extra texture.
