Are you looking for an affordable gift to give to a friend or loved one? If so, I would like to suggest a Gift Mix In A Jar!

These recipes are really easy to put together. You will need to purchase quart sized Mason Jars from your local grocery store or discount store. I also recommend purchasing some decorative recipe cards.

You will want to layer the ingredients into your clean and dry jars in the order given in the recipe. Once completed, make sure you place the lid tightly onto the jar. Print the preparation instructions onto a recipe card. Use a hole punch and punch a hole in the top left corner of your card. Attach it to the jar with a piece of satin ribbon or raffia.

Here are 3 easy recipes:

Peanut Butter S'Mores Bars

1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
1/2 c. peanut butter chips
1 1/2 c. mini marshmallows
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 sleeve of graham crackers, reduced to crumbs

Layer the dry ingredients into a Mason Jar in the order given, ending with the graham cracker crumbs.

Attach the following instructions to the jar:

To make the bars, pour contents into a large bowl. Melt 1/2 cup butter, add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients, mixing well. Pour into a greased 9" square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Makes 9 to 12 bars.

Pecan Brownies
