12th Day of Christmas in a Jar - S'Mores Kit in a Jar



For the twelfth day of Christmas in a jar, we have a quick and easy S'Mores Kit in a jar. I found the idea from the FrugalGirls.com website. I also made a mini version using small mini Hershey's Bars.

Instructions

This is a very quick project for those last minute gifts! Most of the items you might even have lying around the house.

Step 1

In the quart size jar, put one chocolate bar, 4 whole gram crackers and then 8 large marshmallows. You can put the gram crackers and marshmallows directly into the clean jar or you can bag them in plastic zip-loc bags. For the pint jars, I put 2 mini chocolate bars, 3 halves of gram crackers and 4 large marshmallows.

Step 3

Decorate the jars however you'd like. Feel free to use the free printables below or order your custom personalized stickers (or personalized digital downloads for you to print) from Davet Designs.

Instructions

It wouldn't be Christmas time without the smell of gingerbread cookies baking! Compliment your Gingerbread Cookie Mix in a jar with a cute gingerbread man cookie cutter. You can tie it on with ribbon or wrap him up.

Step 1

Using the canning funnel (purchase for $1.25 at Walmart in the canning jar section), pour into the jar 1/2 of the flour (1-3/4 cups), baking powder and baking soda. Pack the layers firmly after each layer. Next layer the brown sugar and spices. Pour in the remaining flour as your last layer.

Step 2

On your tag or sticker, put these directions: "Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. Mix in 1/2 cup softened butter, 3/4 cup molasses and 1 egg. Mix until completely blended. Cover and refrigerate 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes. Place cookies on lightly greased cookie sheet about 2" apart. Bake 10 to 15 minutes. Decorate with icing.

Step 3

Decorate the jars however you'd like. Feel free to use the free printables below or order your custom personalized stickers (or personalized digital downloads for you to print) from Davet Designs.
