S'mores in a jar

[happymomof4]

We made some of these last night. We used the white ghost and orange pumpkins.


1 canning jar, quart-size with lid and ring
1 sleeve graham crackers (about 10 crackers or 1 1/2 cups of crushed crackers)
1 large package seasonal peeps brand marshmallow candies
1⁄3 c brown sugar, packed
1 1⁄4 c chocolate chips or seasonal m&ms brand milk chocolate candies


Place graham crackers in a zipper freezer food storage bag. Use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush crackers into crumbs. (You'll need about 1 1/2 cup of crushed crumbs: one "sleeve" of graham crackers, or about 10 whole crackers equals 1 1/2 cup when crushed.)

Place graham cracker crumbs into quart-sized canning jar. Use a meat tenderizer to pack crumbs tightly into the bottom of the jar.

Place Peeps candies against the glass on all sides of the canning jar. Press lightly to create a well in the center of the jar. (You'll use approximately 2/3rds of the package; our Halloween recipe used 6 of a 9-pack package of Ghost Peeps.

Add brown sugar to the space in the center of the Peeps, pressing gently to pack.

Gently add chocolate chips or M&Ms to the top of the canning jar. Seal jar with lid and sealer ring.

Embellish jar with fabric circle, ribbon or raffia.

create your own tag.
