What Makes This Recipe Unique
These sweet treats bring all the fun of a campfire classic into a convenient and charming jar. They are easy to make, shareable, and perfect for satisfying your chocolate and marshmallow cravings anytime.
Step 1
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs—using a food processor works great, but you can also put them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the brown sugar in a bowl until they’re well combined.
Step 2
Pour the milk chocolate pieces into the bottom of a clean 1-quart jar. Add a layer of marshmallows on top of the chocolate.
Step 3
Now, take a resealable plastic bag and fit it inside the jar, draping the open edge over the rim. Slowly spoon the crumb mixture into the bag, pressing it down gently as you go so it fits snugly inside. Seal the bag tightly, then screw the jar lid on to keep everything fresh until you’re ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of miniature ones?
Yes, but you may want to cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces to fit the layers better.
How long will the jar treats stay fresh?
They typically stay fresh for up to 1 week when sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry place.
Can I substitute the candy-coated chocolates with another type of chocolate?
Absolutely! You can use chocolate chips, chunks, or any favorite candy chocolate.
Why do I need to put the crumb mixture in a plastic bag inside the jar?
The bag keeps the crumbs contained and prevents them from mixing with the marshmallows and chocolate until you're ready to eat.
Is it necessary to crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs?
Fine crumbs work best for layering and texture, but slightly larger pieces are okay if you prefer a crunchier bite.
Can I make these jars ahead for gift-giving?
Yes, they make great gifts and can be prepared a few days in advance as long as they are sealed well.
What size jar should I use for this recipe?
A clean 1-quart jar works perfectly for the layers and portion size.
