S’mores Cake in a Jar makes 4 16-ounce mason jar cakes for crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 stick butter pinch of salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and mix in graham crumbs and salt. Mix until moistened. Spray 4 mason jars with non-stick spray and press graham crust into jars. I began by adding a tablespoon to each, and repeating until graham crumbs were gone. They don’t need to look perfect. I pressed the crumbs down firmly with the flat bottom of a clean screwdriver. for cake: (from peanut butter hot fudge cupcakes) 1 1/8 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 tablespoons sour cream for topping: 1 bag of large marshmallows In a bowl, whisk egg and sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. Add milk, cream, butter and vanilla, and mix until combined. Stir in sour cream. Sift dry ingredients together and add to wet mixture. Mix until batter is smooth. Using a 1/4 cup measure, add batter to mason jars one scoop at a time. You only want to fill them up about half way, and the batter should work evenly for 4 jars. Again – don’t worry if it is perfect. Place mason jars in a baking dish and add about 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cake is set. Remove cake from the oven and press large marshmallows down on top, being careful not to burn yourself. There is no set number of marshmallows to use, I pressed down as many as I could, about 4-5 each. Heat the broiler on your oven and watching carefully, brown marshmallows for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Do not take your eyes off them! Serve immediately.

Note: I am not sure how many jars this will make, I have not tried this recipe and it does not say.

Dark Valrhona Chocolate Pots De Crème adapted from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nicemakes 8 individual custards1 1/2 cups (355 ml) whole milk1 1/2 cups (355 ml) heavy cream2/3 cup (1,56 dl) sugar6 ounces (170 grams) dark Valrhona (or any other brand high quality) chocolate, chopped6 egg yolks1/4 cup (0,6 dl) Dutch-processed dark chocolate, sifted1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1/8 teaspoon saltIn a medium sized saucepan, over a medium-low flame, heat the milk, cream, sugar, and chopped chocolate, whisking constantly, until chocolate is melted and sugar has dissolved, and comes to a simmer.While this is heating, combine the egg yolks, cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large bowl.Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).Once the cream mixture is at a simmer, it’s time to temper it into the egg yolks. Pour a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of the hot chocolate milk into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. Repeat this process two or three more times, whisking constantly, until you have a hot, loose, liquid mixture. While whisking, slowly pour the remainder of the chocolate milk into the yolks, and stir until completely incorporated.Pass the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl, or a pitcher for easy distribution into the ramekins. Arrange eight ramekins on a baking sheet and fill each one about 3/4 full with the custard mixture.Place the baking sheet on the middle rack on your oven, and carefully pour hot water into the sheet pan, filling it as full as possible, without overflowing. Bake custards for 35-40 minutes, until they are set. They will have a uniform, even jiggle when done, meaning the center should move just as much as the outer rim when jostled.I have found that the easiest way to remove the custards from the oven is to use tongs to remove each ramekin separately, then turn off the oven, leaving the sheet pan full of water in the oven until it is cool. This way you wont have to try to carry a large sheet pan full of 325 degree water across your kitchen.Let custards cool for about 20 minutes, and then refrigerate for a few hours, or optimally overnight until completely set and chilled.

4th of July Cupcakes in a Jar  YOU’LL NEED:Jars (I used 1/2 pint canning jars)1 Vanilla cake mix (from a box or from scratch)Frosting (from a can or homemade)Tomkat Studio Memorial Day Free Printables (use 3 of the 4 designs) DIRECTIONS: Prepare the batter of your favorite vanilla cake (from a box or from scratch).   Divide the batter as equally as possible  into three bowls.   Color one bowl of batter red, and one blue (using concentrated gel coloring).   The final bowl will remain uncolored.   Prepare 3- 9″ cake pans (round or square) by greasing the pan lightly (with butter or oil), and lining with parchment paper.   Fill pans with batter.    Bake cakes according to recipe instructions. Once baked, cool cakes completely.  Remove cakes from pans, and level cakes as needed. Then, use a 2″ round cookie cutter to cut out circles of cake.   Prepare a batch of frosting (I used my Cream Cheese Frosting) and fill a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip.   Layer cake and frosting as shown above (blue cake, a little frosting, white cake, a little frosting, red cake, a nice swirl of frosting).   Top with festive sprinkles. *Note- the cupcakes in a jar could also be made using cupcakes, cut in half, then used as directed above.  (via Glorious Treats: 4th of July Cupcakes in a Jar)
