I got this recipe from a gift site. I love it because you use peeps. Can make different ones for different seasons. The serving size is a guess as it depends on how big you cut them. Ingredients:
1 quart mason jar |
1 sleeve graham crackers |
1 package holiday marshmallow peeps |
one bag of holiday m&ms candies (regular ones, not the peanut |
kind) |
1/3 cup of brown sugar |
a circle of fabric or paper, and ribbon or raffia to decorate the lid. |
card stock or paper for tag. |
Directions:
1. Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers to crumbs.
2. Layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 qt jar. Pack down the crumbs a bit.
3. Place about 1/4 cup of M&Ms candies on top of the graham crackers.
4. Arrange 8 to 12 marshmallow holiday peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar. Press them up against the glass, but don't squash them.
5. Depending on the type of peeps available you might use either one row (like christmas trees or bunnies) or 2 rows (like pumpkins or hearts).
6. Carefully spoon remaining cracker crumbs in the center of the jar to support the peeps, pressing down to keep it snug.
7. On top of this pour 1-1/4 cup M&M's (holiday colors to suit).
8. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into center of M&M's, gently pressing with a spoon. If you have any room left over, then fill the jar to the top with M&Ms.
9. Print or handwrite a tag to attach to the jar
10. Holiday S'MORES
11. Empty the jar contents into a bowl.
12. Snip the peeps into bits with kitchen shears or cut up with a knife.
13. Return the bits to the mixture
14. Mix well.
15. Melt 1/2 cup butter; add 1 teaspoon vanilla.
16. Pour this over the dry ingredients mixing well.
17. Pat into a greased 8 or 9 square pan.
18. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
19. Cool and cut into bars.
