Add brown sugar to the space in the center of the marshmallows pressing gently to pack. Gently add chocolate chips or M&Ms to the top of the canning jar. Seal jar with lid and sealer ring. *****Decorate jar with fabric circle, ribbon or raffia.
- 2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAG: Empty jar into large bowl. Remove marshmallows and combine remaining ingredients, mixing well. Snip marshmallows in half with scissors. Return to bowl; stir into dry mix. Melt 1/2 cup butter. Add melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/3 cup buttermilk to bowl. Mix well. Press lightly into greased 9-by-9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh graham crackers. Stale graham crackers will make your bars crumbly and less flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
- Get creative with your toppings. You can use any type of chocolate, marshmallow, or graham cracker you like. You can also add other toppings, such as nuts, dried fruit, or candy.
