Halloween Smores In A Jar
Ingredients:
1 quart mason jar
1 sleeve graham crackers
1 package holiday marshmallow peeps
one bag of holiday M&Ms candies
1/3 cup of brown sugar
Directions:
1. Crush 1 sleeve graham crackers to crumbs.
2. Layer 2/3 of the graham cracker crumbs in a 1 qt jar. Pack down the crumbs a bit.
3. Arrange 8 to 12 marshmallow holiday peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar. Press them up against the glass.
4. Carefully spoon remaining cracker crumbs in the center of the jar to support the peeps, pressing down to keep it snug.
5. On top of this pour 1-1/4 cup M&M's in holiday colors.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into center of M&M's, gently pressing with a spoon. If you have any room left over, fill the jar to the top with M&Ms.
Cooking directions:
1. Empty the jar contents into a bowl.
Snip the peeps into bits with kitchen shears or cut up with a knife.
Return the peep bits to the mixture. Mix well.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter; add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 8" or 9" square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

What a creative and special gift for a teacher, neighbor, or friend! I love how she personalized it with the cute label and holiday towels. This can be done pretty inexpensively, too, since you can usually find those hand towels at TJ Maxx, Ross, or Marshall’s for under $5.00.
Update: I made the Christmas version of these using red and green M&Ms and holiday Peeps (snowmen, gingerbread men, and Christmas trees). I went to the craft store and bought a tiny strip of green Christmas tree fabric to stick under the lid with the edges of the squares sticking and some red and white striped ribbon to wrap around the lid tied in a knot. I printed off the cooking directions in red text and glued them to a piece of green cardstock. Then I cut a little hole in the cardstock and attached the cooking directions onto the ribbon. They turned out really cute and word on the street is that they were pretty tasty - although who would tell me that they weren't?
