Campfire Bars and Desserts in Jars

Julie Deily · 28 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Hey there! Today, I'm so excited to share with you for the sixth day of giveaways, my friend, Shaina's book Desserts in Jars! She's an incredibly talented mom and food blogger over at Food for My Family. She photographed the book by herself! I remember meeting Shaina last year at a food blog conference, our mutual friend, Jaden, introduced us. She's quiet at first when you meet her, she's really funny and let me tell you she does not give herself enough credit!

This book is gorgeous and I want to make so many recipes from it! The cookbook starts out with tips on how to bake in jars and how to fill them. Right now, this is the perfect last minute gift for the foodie in your life you don't know what to get for…it's available in stores at Target and World Market. I have spotted it at both stores near me. And you can order it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble or purchase it wherever books are sold.

Let's talk about the recipe I made from the cookbook – campfire bars. Am I allowed to say oh my God? Because these are a notch above s'mores. Yep…I love that they have trail mix in them. You can whip them up and put them into a jar for a friend as a gift – just takes minutes – and all they have to do is add butter (!!!) and bake them. If a friend gave these to me for a gift, I would hug them 10 times.

There are 50 recipes in the book and I already marked a few other I want to try including these Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

and these Coconut Cream Pies!!

That's the campfire bars mix!! Put a bow on it, print out instructions on what to do with the mix and give it to your best friend. They will thank you!

And now I'm so excited to give away Shaina's book and some other nifty prizes to get you started in making desserts in jars and hopefully making some sweet treats for yourself AND some friends!

this giveaway includes:

  • Desserts in Jars by Shaina Olmanson
  • 1 case of half size – 8 ounce jars
  • 1 Jar of Monster Cookie Mix
  • $25 Gift Card for Target to get your supplies to make Desserts in Jars!

Retail Value: $65

Please use the form below (comments will not count toward entry into the giveaway). Good luck!
This giveaway has ended.

Congrats to Peggy K! I know you'll love this cookbook!

        There are so many varieties of granola now. Which brand or type of granola is used in this recipe?

          Hi Karin!

          I usually buy the bulk granola that they sell at my grocery store. Hope that helps!

        I was craving s’mores and really wanted to love these. The favors are there, but they were too sweet for my taste and mine, at least, definitely couldn’t be classified as ‘bars’, more like a pie filling. Would need way more graham crackers to bind them, I think. Thank you, just the same!
