Helen’s Gift Jar Recipe

Filed under: Ruthe's Roses — Ruth @ 11:21 am

Well, I just recently worked with the ladies from the church made the recipe jar.  This is the contents.

 
Into the the Jar, put

2 cups of chow mein noodles (the orange crunchy ones you buy a bulk store)
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
1 cup of peanuts
12 caramel candies

All the above you neatly pack into the mason jar.  Cover and decorate the jar and attach a recipe card;

On the recipe card you write:

Chocolate Chow Mein Clusters

In a four cup measuring cup, or bowl, combine chocolate chips and caramels with 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter, and 2 Tablespoons of water.

Heat uncovered in microwave on high for two minutes stirring once to blend. Heat till melted.

Add remaining ingredients, stirring gently to coat.  Drop from teaspoon onto wax paper.  Cool till firm.

Makes 2 1/2 dozen.

And of course, we can also do the same with a soup recipe.  But I don’t have the exact ingredients to tell you at this time.

I do hope you are well and have a blessed Christmas.

Your sister
Helen.

Isn’t that easy? So round up all the jars you can find (they do clutter up the kitchen sometimes, don’t they?) stock up on a larger quantity of chow mein noodles, chocolate chips, peanuts and carmel candies. In a few minutes you can fill a whole row of jars.

Dressing them up can take a bit longer, but you can put in as much effort and creativity as you wish. Then type or print out the recipe cards with the instructions, so the receiver of the gifts will know what to do with these quick-treat-kits.

Blessings & Thanks ever so much, Helen!

Ruth
