Servings: 1 spooky jar
Ingredients:
- 1-quart mason jar

How to Make Halloween Smores in a Jar

3. Place about 1/4 cup of M&Ms candies on top of the graham crackers.
4. Arrange 5-8 marshmallow holiday Peeps standing up (facing out) around the inside of the jar. It may require two rows if you use the Pumpkin Peeps.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into the center of the peeps pack it down and around to make room for the M&M’s.
8. Pour in remaining M&M’s and pack down–don’t squish the Peeps!
Adorn the jar.
You can trace a circle larger than the jar lid, and place a jumbo cotton ball between the lid and fabric for padding, then screw the ring on the jar over the fabric.
For a more elaborate look, cut a circle of tulle a little larger than the fabric circle and place under the fabric circle.
Make a tag for your jar.
