I’ve been teaming up with my bake shop to bring easy baking tips and recipes (check out our easy cupcake fondant decorating and chocolate bark). Today, I’m sharing one more idea that’s perfect for holiday gift gifting.
Dry mix jars are fun for kids to help make as edible gifts – they’ll love dumping flour, sugar, and chocolate into jars. Place a pretty tag with instructions and you have a delicious handmade gift. Who wouldn’t want a jar of yummy cookie mix? This is our bake shop’s recipe and is our top seller…enjoy!
