Yesterday, we took the girls to the Kentucky Castle for brunch, and we will be sharing that with you tomorrow.\u00a0\u00a0 There are other plans in the works, but when all else fails, there&#8217;s always the park.<\/p>\n<p>As is the custom here on the blog, our first blog post this month will be our most popular post from last July.\u00a0 The s&#8217;mores in a jar wins that title.\u00a0 If you have not made these dessert treats, now is the time &#8211; especially if there is a picnic in your future.\u00a0 Enjoy this revisit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>S&#8217;mores in a Jar is a great show stopping dessert.\u00a0 Oh my goodness. You all need to make these STAT.\u00a0 When we go to <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2018\/07\/08\/our-july-4th-week\/\">the annual July 4th concert<\/a> and carry a cooler that holds our picnic dinner, I like to include a dessert in a jar.\u00a0 In the past I have made <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2014\/07\/24\/cherry-pie-jar\/\">cherry pie in a jar<\/a>, and strawberry shortcake in a jar.\u00a0 This year I came up with s&#8217;mores in a jar, and they are so very good.\u00a0 The whole family, (except six month old Baby Girl who didn&#8217;t get any) loved them and practically licked their jars clean.\u00a0 Other than being tasty, these desserts are very easy to make.\u00a0 You can do an instant pudding version or a cooked from scratch pudding version (link is <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2017\/08\/03\/easy-homemade-chocolate-pudding\/\">here<\/a>), or a from the box cooked pudding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39382\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SMores-in-a-Jar-1-813x1024.jpg\" alt=\"S'Mores in a Jar - The 2 Seasons\" width=\"640\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SMores-in-a-Jar-1-813x1024.jpg 813w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SMores-in-a-Jar-1-257x323.jpg 257w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SMores-in-a-Jar-1-768x967.jpg 768w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SMores-in-a-Jar-1-300x378.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>S&#8217;Mores in a Jar<\/h2>\n<p>\n    <div id=\"yrecipe-container-90\" class=\"yrecipe-container-border\" >\n    <div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Recipe\" id=\"yrecipe-container\" class=\"yrecipe\">\n      <div id=\"yrecipe-innerdiv\">\n        <div class=\"item b-b\"><div class=\"yrecipe-print-link fl-r\"><a class=\"butn-link\" title=\"Print this recipe\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"yrPrint('yrecipe-container-90', 'http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/yummly-rich-recipes\/', '' ); return false\">Print<\/a><\/div><div id=\"y-recipe-link-90\" class=\"y-recipe-link fl-r hide-print\"> <a href=\"\/\/yummly.com\" class=\"YUMMLY-YUM-BUTTON yummly-button add-recipe\">Yum<\/a>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.yummly.com\/js\/widget.js?wordpress&p=wp\"><\/script>\n                <\/div><div id=\"yrecipe-title\" itemprop=\"name\" class=\"b-b h-1 strong\" >S\u2019Mores in a Jar<\/div>\n      <\/div><div class=\"ymeta yclear\">\n      <div class=\"fl-l width-50\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"fl-l width-50\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"yclear\">\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div><p id=\"yrecipe-ingredients\" class=\"h-4 strong\">Ingredients<\/p><ul id=\"yrecipe-ingredients-list\"><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-0\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">Serves 6\r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-1\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">6 one-half pint mason jars with lids\r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-2\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">1 1\/2 packages graham crackers, crushed\r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-3\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">1 small jar marshmallow creme\r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-4\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">1 recipe of chocolate pudding \r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-ingredient-5\" class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)<\/li><\/ul><p id=\"yrecipe-instructions\" class=\"h-4 strong\">Instructions<\/p><ol id=\"yrecipe-instructions-list\" class=\"instructions\"><li id=\"yrecipe-instruction-0\" class=\"instruction\" itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\">Wash and dry jars.\r<\/li><li id=\"yrecipe-instruction-1\" class=\"instruction\" itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\">Prepare pudding and let cool.

href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2017\/08\/03\/easy-homemade-chocolate-pudding\/\">this chocolate pudding recipe<\/a>.\u00a0 It is very chocolatey (is that a word?), and I think the pudding makes this dessert a stand-out.\u00a0 For several years,\u00a0 I have been using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00GXT7NJ8\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=the2sea-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00GXT7NJ8&amp;linkId=f4efd4b26ba237b09b7d6ebe9de3c943\">Pernigotti cocoa<\/a> powder for several years.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the same kind that the Barefoot Contessa uses.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a little more expensive, but it lasts a long time because it comes in 2.2 pound bags.\u00a0 I definitely think it&#8217;s worth it, and if you love your chocolate than you probably want the quality product.\u00a0 You can get more info about it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00GXT7NJ8\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=the2sea-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00GXT7NJ8&amp;linkId=bddc0499ffab804410301e9e9744416f\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These s&#8217;mores are a great way to have the flavor of the real McCoy, but you don&#8217;t have to build a fire.\u00a0 Using this recipe is a great way to capture one of summer&#8217;s favorite treats in a jar.\u00a0 They&#8217;re perfect for camping trips, cook-outs, picnics, fishing trips, a day in the boat, an afternoon at the pool, or a snack at the park.\u00a0 Just remember to pack some spoons.\u00a0 Oh, and the kids can help you make them.\u00a0 That&#8217;s another plus to serving these delicious s&#8217;mores in a jar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take
