DIY S’mores Jar

A homemade gift idea for Father’s Day, using only four ingredients. With this jar dad can whip up an easy treat in a few seconds, either in the microwave or over the braai.

INGREDIENTS

Marie Biscuits 18
Marshmallows 9
Milk Chocolate 100g
MONTAGU SNACKS Cashews 100g

METHOD

Place the cashew nuts on a lined baking tray and put them in an oven at 180˚C for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to get them evenly roasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then chop them up finely.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave at ten second bursts, or in a bowl over a pot of hot water. Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate, about a third of the way up, and then dip into the chopped roasted cashew nuts. Place them on a sheet of baking paper until the chocolate has set.

Place the marie biscuits at the bottom of a glass jar (you’ll need two marie biscuits for every marshmallow), then top up the glass jar with the chocolate and roasted cashew nut coated marshmallows.

Seal the jar, decorate and include a tag.

To make the s’mores, place a marshmallow - chocolate side down - on one marie biscuit and pop in the microwave for about 10 seconds, until the marshmallow has ballooned up, then remove from the microwave and squash down with another marie biscuit.
