LAYERED DRY COOKIE MIX IN A JAR
This recipe, presented in a canning jar, is almost too pretty for the recipient to eat!!!
You will need: 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 oz. semisweet chocolate morsels
6 oz. butterscotch morsels
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
Quart size canning jar
Layer ingredients in a quart sized (Wide Mouth) canning jar in the following order: Walnuts or pecans, Butterscotch morsels, Semisweet chocolate morsels, Coconut, Graham cracker crumbs
Place lid on jar and cut a piece of fabric large enough to come down over lid and secure with a rubber band. Use pinking shears to cut fabric for a pretty edging. Attach the directions for baking the cookies on a pretty paper with the following directions:
Melt 1/2 cup of butter. Add top layer of graham cracker crumbs. Pat evenly in bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining layered ingredients into the crumb mixture and spread even with spoon. Pour 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk evenly over all. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes; cool. Cut into bars. Makes about 36 bars.
To attach paper with the instructions, punch a hole in corner of paper with a heart punch, and using ribbon, or twine, tie around lid hiding rubber band. Also attach a wooden spoon to the jar! You could even make it a gift package by taking a 13x9 pan, draping a pretty holiday towel inside, and adding the mix, the can of condensed milk, and perhaps a package of hot chocolate or gourmet coffee.
These are really pretty when done! They make great Christmas gifts......or any time of the year gifts.....Enjoy!!
