Time 5h30m

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Graham Cracker Crust:
5 whole graham crackers
Pudding:
3 cups whole milk
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Toppings:
50 miniature marshmallows
2 graham crackers, broken into large pieces

Steps:

  • For the graham cracker crust: Add the graham crackers to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the crackers are crushed in to crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs to each of six 5-ounce jars. Press the crumbs down to the bottoms with the back of a spoon. Reserve the remaining graham cracker crumbs.
  • For the pudding: Heat the milk until hot but not boiling in a saucepan on the stove or in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave (1 minute on high). Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl and add the hot milk, slowly at first, stirring constantly so the eggs do not scramble. Continue until all the milk is incorporated.
  • Add the sugar, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk until there are no lumps. Slowly whisk in the hot milk mixture in a steady stream so lumps do not form. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble and has thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Distribute the pudding among the jars and refrigerate until fully set, 2 to 3 hours.
  • For the toppings:
  • Remove the jars from the refrigerator 2 hours before serving to come to room temperature. Just before serving, top the pudding with another layer of the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Add the miniature marshmallows to cover. Use a kitchen torch to brown the marshmallows. Top each S'mores in a Jar with a large piece of graham cracker.
