My favorite things include the people I love (especially my
family members), popcorn, and s’mores - to name just a few things! If I have an excuse to make something for
friends and family, I am all over it! This time, my cousin Martin was coming
through town and I got the privilege of bringing dessert (thank you Glenn and
Estelle for hosting dinner)! And, you
KNOW how I always follow a recipe exactly – NOT!

| I found this recipe online and you can too! http://cookiesandcups.com/smores-in-a-jar/ I loved the photos posted there. |
This is the recipe I followed - almost exactly. I filled a dozen jars, used the large box of
instant Jell-O pudding, two (2) 7-ounce containers of marshmallow fluff and I put
a large marshmallow on top. Patty you were right, the mini marshmallows would
have been better on top. They would have
melted thoroughly inside when toasted under the broiler. Joel thinks I should
use CoolWhip instead of marshmallow fluff next time and there will be a next time!

| All the ingredients - before I asked Joel to bring home the second container of marshmallow fluff. |
I placed all the filled jars in a 9x13 pan for easy transportation and so I could put them all under the broiler at one time. It only took a couple of minutes to toast the marshmallows and I watched them carefully. I have been known to burn things - like the cheese, right Dayna? When the marshmallows turned a lovely toasty color, I carefully removed them from the oven and then placed one square of a Hershey Chocolate Bar in each. (Since the jars were cold and I placed them under the broiler, I think it is important to point out that I used canning jars which are made to take the heat; not that anything but the marshmallows got warm.)

These are not made for shipping. Let me know when you are coming to visit and I’ll make
some for you too!
