Yesterday (Dec 4) made 8 years for hubby and I! I am so very blessed! I trully have the most wonderful husband! We beat the odds and are happier today than we ever dreamed we would be! It's wonderful to have met my best friend and soul mate. And better we both love Christmas! So we are enjoying all the fun of the Christmas Season. I was looking through a Christmas cookbook today in planning some Christmas baking. I found this recipe and thought it would be wonderful to make and bless others with.

Christmas Smores Bars in a Jar ~

1 ½ c. graham cracker crumbs
1/3 brown sugar, packed
1 ¼ c. red and green candy- coated chocolates, divided
8 Christmas Tree or Snowman Marshmallows (peeps)

In a one quart wide mouth jar, place graham cracker crumbs; press down crumbs with a wooden tamper or back with a spoon. Add brown sugar on top of crumbs, gently pressing down. Pour ¾ candy coated chocolates over the brown sugar. Arrange the marshmallows inside the jar standing up and facing out; gently press them against the glass without mashing. Pour remaining chocolates behind the marshmallows. Attach gift tag with instructions.


Instructions ~
Empty contents of jar into a large bowl. Cut marshmallows into small pieces; add to bowl. Stir until well blended. Combine ½ cup melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add butter mixture to dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 9x9 baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.


What a simple and yet yummy gift! And it would be too cute for sure!

Happy planning your gift giving this Christmas Season!
