The food-on-a-stick trend might have its own book, but food-in-a-jar is just as much fun (if not more so) to eat.
Oats in a jar (commonly referred to as OIAJ for those “in the know”) became extraordinarily popular a year or two ago, but there are many other items that can be served in a jar as well; such as this delightful concoction consisting of my Pumpkin Chocolate Pudding, crushed graham crackers, pumpkin marshmallow creme, and toasted mini marshmallows.
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, here’s an excuse to pick one up (or order one online). If having one means you can enjoy toasty s’mores at any time… it’s totally worth the $30.00, right? It would also mean that you can easily make this aahhhh-mazing ice cream!
As you can see, I like my marshmallows blackened. Chewy, pillowy, and sticky on the inside; crisp and toasty on the outside. If you prefer just a kiss of golden color, go for it.
This parfait was SO much fun to devour! Each spoonful included a taste of the silky chocolate pudding, sweet pumpkin marshmallow creme, crunchy graham crackers, and soft marshmallows.
Though it went from this,
to this,
to this in about… 3 minutes, I loved every single bite.
And I’m sure you will too!
