Q. I am already planning on making fudge, and toffee but would like some more candy or dessert ideas
I am also looking for some gift jar ideas/recipes. I already plan on one for chocolate chip cookies and homemade hot cocoa. I would really like a good recipe for a blueberry muffin one if you know of any.
I have a large family and want to give each of the adults (24) a gift somewhere along these lines, but I don't want to make all the same things so any ideas?

A. Flavored sugar is a great 'gift jar' gift. I used a spice mill to grind dried lemon, orange, lime peel (separately) and added them to sugar with a drop of food coloring shaken in for effect. I also buy a bag or two of sugar every January and go to the whole foods store and buy vanilla beans (they are cheaper). I make a slit down the middle lengthwise (careful not to go all the way through to the other side) then I place a bunch of these beans in an airtight jar with the sugar and leave it alone until Christmas. Then I put it in jars and give out. The lime sugar and the vanilla sugar seem to be the most appreciated. Especially by tea drinkers and bakers.
You can also take last years fruitcake (you know it lasts forever) and crumble it up. Then, dip your hands in a little water or flavored liqueur and roll into small balls and place in a pan to dry overnight. Then melt some choc chips in the microwave (one bag choc chips and 1 teaspoon Crisco for shine) dip balls and place on wax paper til chocolate sets. This recipe makes fruitcake lovers out of anyone who loves chocolate (esp. the dark chocolate).

What kind of baked good mixes have people made to give as gifts in jars?
Q. I am not a very creative person and am looking for any cheap homemade gift ideas for Christmas. I thought these baked goods in jars were pretty cute. I was just curious as to what kinds of things people have put in these....or if anyone has any other cheap gift ideas I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Great question! Brownies work well! Layer dry ingredients in jar w directions to add to melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Also most cookie recipes ie choc chip, oatmeal raisen and almond. Other inexpensive gifts could be a cute pad for a groc list w magnet to go on refrig ( try target or walmart or dollar store), a single voltive in a cheap glass holder ( walmart or ben franklin), or buy a bag of red & green M&M's and present in a cheap but pretty glass container. Hope this helps!
