S'Mores in a Jar

1. Place graham crackers in a zipper freezer food storage bag. Use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush crackers into crumbs.  You'll need about 1½ cups of crushed crumbs.  One "sleeve" of graham crackers, or about 10 whole crackers equals 1½ cups when crushed.
    
2. Place graham cracker crumbs into quart-sized canning jar. Use a meat tenderizer to pack crumbs tightly into the bottom of the jar.
    
3. Place Peeps candies against the glass on all sides of the canning jar. Press lightly to create a well in the center of the jar.  You'll use approximately 2/3 of the package.
    
4. Add brown sugar to the space in the center of the Peeps, pressing gently to pack.
    
5. Gently add chocolate chips or M&Ms to the top of the canning jar. Seal jar with lid and sealer ring.
    
6. Embellish jar with fabric circle, ribbon or raffia.
