In the words of one fan, “I have co-workers who get down on their knees and beg me to make this!” Fix these delish treats and spread a little happiness.
Just so we’re clear, s’mores jar cakes have buttery graham crusts covered with fluffy double chocolate chip cake and pillowy marshmallow toppings that are so perfectly browned and bubbly you can taste the campfire and smell the midnight July breeze.

This is a wonderful fruity mulled apple drink that will warm you inside and out. The recipe from my friend Betty B. who serves it every year at her annual Christmas party. It is one of my children's favorite Christmas traditions.
