S'More bar in a jar

With Christmas break coming soon, you might be like me: scrambling in the final few days to put together presents for not only the classmates but for the teachers as well.

Here is a super easy, really inexpensive, and yummy gift!

Get a clear container.  I used a .88 cent plastic cup from Walmart!  Or you can use a quart size mason jar.

Then you can use chocolate chips, or break a chocolate bar in small pieces.

You'll also need graham crackers and mini marshmallows. 









Take a sleeve of the graham crackers, and smash them.  You can smash it until it's a fine powder, or leave small pieces - it's up to you.  Measure out about a cup of the graham cracker, and place it in your container.

Then measure a cup of the mini marshmallows, and place it next on top of the graham cracker.

Finally, place a cup of the chocolate in your container.  In the recipe I found, it called for 1/3 cup of brown sugar as an option, but my container didn't have any room for it, so I just wrote that you can add it when you are mixing the ingredients together.  If you have room in your container, feel free to add 1/3 cup of brown sugar on top of the chocolate.
 S’more Bars
• 1 jar of s’more bar mix     • 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (optional)

1. Pour jar contents (and brown sugar) into mixing bowl.
2. Add melted butter and mix well.
3. Spray a 9×9 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Pour mixture into pan then press lightly.
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 350ยบ F.
6. Let cool and enjoy



After you seal your container, add a ribbon or other decoration, and then make sure to attach the recipe!

Countdown To Christmas

14 days left until Christmas...



We took a red and green bubblebath!

Fill your kids' bath like usual, and make sure there are extra bubbles.  
Then add the food dye, and mix it around in the bubbles. 
 It fades after several minutes, but didn't stain my kids' skin.
