Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start, gather all your candies, snacks, and jars. This makes the assembly process a breeze!
- Start Layering:
- Begin with a layer of pretzel sticks at the bottom of each jar. This will provide a sturdy base and a lovely crunch.
- Next, add a layer of chocolate candies. This can be M&M’s, chocolate-covered nuts, or any of your favorites.
- Follow that with a layer of gummy candies. The colors will start to pop, making your jars look inviting.
- Add Popcorn: Sprinkle in a layer of popcorn. If you’re using caramel popcorn, it’ll add a sweet surprise with each bite!
- Layer in Marshmallows: Toss in a handful of marshmallows for that fluffy sweetness. They also add a soft texture that complements the crunch of the pretzels.
- Finish with Nuts: If you’re including nuts, now’s the time to add them. They offer a great flavor contrast and make the jar look even more interesting.
- Repeat Layers: Depending on the size of your jar, feel free to repeat the layers until you reach the top. You can mix and match as you go to create a beautiful visual display.
- Seal and Enjoy: Once your jars are filled, seal them up with a lid or some decorative wrap. You can keep them in the fridge for a few days, or serve them right away!
