I have seen these on a few diffrent websites and thought they would make cute gifts for my friends, neighbors and ladies I visit teach. As I was making them Karli came and said she wants to make one for her teacher so I guess we will be making one more. The recipe I used was from Sugardoodle.net. I think there are a few diffrent ones out there but for the most part they are all the same. I haven't tried them yet. My husband thinks I am crazy to be giving out something I haven't even tried yet but I figure anything with PEEPS must be good right?
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 them up against the glass, but don't squash 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. On Sugardoodle she also used Cadberry Eggs to so you can switch between the two.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into center of M&M's, gently pressing with a spoon.
Attach a gift tag with the following instructions:
EASTER BUNNY S'MORES
1. Empty the jar contents into a bowl. Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen sheers 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 F for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. (Makes 9 to 12 bars.)
*Optional - leave bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top; then bake as directed.
*This gift jar may be created to suit any holiday for which marshmallow candies are available.
