Popcorn S'mores in a Jar
What's your favorite summertime camping memory?
The pine-scented air on a woodsy hike… a star-filled nighttime sky… the rustling and chirping of creatures in the brush … For many people, it’s all about s’mores -- the sticky, sweet dessert of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows gently singed at the campfire.
In honor of National S’mores Day on August 10th , we offer this delicious twist on the traditional s'mores recipe – all the sweet reminiscence of the iconic dessert with an extra crunch of gourmet popcorn, served in individual jars (guaranteed less likely to end up stuck in your hair!)
Popcorn S'mores in a Jar
- Ingredients: crushed graham crackers; chocolate chips; popcorn (Caramel Bliss, Sweet Butter, or Klassic Kettle); mini-marshmallows; chocolate sauce; small glasses or jars
Directions: Fill each glass or jar with layers of crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, popcorn, and mini-marshmallows. Drizzle chocolate sauce on top of the mixture, allowing it to drip down into the other yummy layers. Repeat layers and chocolate sauce if there’s more room in the jar. Pass out the spoons and dig in!
Popcorn S’mores in a Jar can be made ahead of time then passed around the campfire during spooky ghost stories and cheesy singalongs.
Or guests can fill their own jars as a fun hands-on party activity. Just set out glasses or jars on a table with a bottle of chocolate sauce and bowls of graham crackers, mini-marshmallows, chocolate chips, and popcorn and let the s’more-ing begin!
A Pop Party Pack of Caramel Bliss, Sweet Butter, or Klassic Kettle popcorn makes a great crunchy layer in this dessert. Plan on at least ½ -1 cup of popcorn per jar, per person.
