A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about 10 Christmas Gifts in a Jar. It included some mixes for desserts and beverages. What if you have people on your gift list who never cook? A cookie mix in a jar would not work for them. For those people, you can give a gift that is ready to eat. I found quite a few that look yummy. After baking, cool, and simply add a lid, tag, and ribbon. Tie on a spoon if you give these to your co-workers, and they can dig in at their desk!
Monkey Bread in a Jar from The Family Kitchen
Peanut Butter Cups (Cake) in a Jar from Family Kitchen
Peach Cobbler in a Jar from Family Kitchen
Pumpkin Pie in a Jar from The Nerd's Wife
Cherry Crisp in a Jar from My Kitchen Addiction
Lemon Poppyseed Pound Cake from Man with a Fork
Single Serving Pie in a Jar from Our Best Bites
This website includes how to add pie crust to the jar, make a fruit filling and a crumb topping, how to freeze, and free label printables!
I found many more desserts in a jar than these, but they required refrigeration. The ones I chose seemed easier to give as gifts.

What a great post and so many cute ideas! I can't decide which is my favorite. Maybe peach cobbler or peanut butter cup cake! Although, monkey bread is my husband's favorite, so maybe I should start there! :)

ReplyDeleteAny reason why you can't use boxed brownie mix? I only ask because I can't have diary - Any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteRenee, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use a brownie box mix. It would be quick and easy to make.
ReplyDeleteI love these cute ideas! Where do you get the jars? I'm from Germany and I've never seen such beautiful ones here?
ReplyDeleteMaren, in the US, most grocery stores sell the jars, as well as stores like WalMart. I'm sure you can find them online by googling mason or canning jars.
