Easter Bunny S’Mores
Ingredients and Directions:
1. Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers to crumbs.
2. Layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 quart jar.
3. Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar.
4. Press peeps up against the glass (without squishing them!)
5. Carefully spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
6. On top of this pour 1-1/4 cup Easter M&M’s.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into center of M&M’s, gently pressing with a spoon.
OR: Put combined graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar in a baggie and place in center of jar to avoid mess in jar
*Optional: Put M&M’s in first then Peeps – and brown sugar/cinnamon baggie in middle (this is what I did)
Attach a gift tag giving the following instructions:
1. Empty the jar contents into a bowl. Snip the bunnies into bits with scissors or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture. Mix well.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter; add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 9″ square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars (makes 9 to 12)
*Option – leave bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top; then bake as directed.
Lid can be decorated and jar can be adorned with ribbon – I did mine with candies and a ribbon!
Enjoy
Yummers!! I knew there was a reason I saved all those pasta jars
That’s a great idea!
These are SO cute! How did you decorate the lids? That’s adorable as well!
For the lid I just glued Easter egg candies and jelly beans on top then sprinkled with spring colored “Jimmies” – really easy!
Well that’s easy enough! Lol! Thank you for sharing!
LOVE IT
Neat teacher gift!
That’s a great idea!
