Like cookie mix or cake mixes. Something pretty when layered, but tastes great when baked??
My dd is going to have a table this fall at a 'vendor' fair at school. She's going to use my blue Ball jars to put the mixes in and have samples of the already baked product to try. (I have the seal-a-meal with the jar sealing attachment. I think it would be best to seal them that way.
Any ideas? She's not sure if she wants to use labels on the top of the jars or fabric.

Here's cinnamon pancake mix in a jar
3 c flour 2T sugar 2T baking powder 4 1/2 t cinnamon 1 1/4 t salt
directions: In a medium bowl combine 3/4 c milk, 1 egg, and 2 T oil. With a wire wisk, blend in 1 1/3 c of pancake mix until moistened but still lumpy. Cook on a lightly greased griddle or skillet. makes about 10- 5 inch pancakes
Are you using antique blue jars? I love those things!I hope you will get them back when your customers are finished with their goodies. I would attach the directions to the jar with some raffia. and make a little bow.

That is a great idea!!! I was trying to come up with some mixes to give as Christmas gifts this year! I am making baskets and putting in a jar of jelly/jam, a jar of a cookie or bread (like pumpkin bread or something) mix, and a jar of chicken soup mix and of course a coffee mug with either homemade hot cocoa mix or a small packet of coffee for the grandparents who love coffee. I know my mom had a recipe for chicken soup in a jar and all the person had to do was add water but I can't get a hold of her to get it. Anyone else have the chicken soup in a jar recipe? Hope your both works out for you!!!

Margo, what do you mean about the bread in a jar? I guess I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain or maybe there is a website I could see? Are you talking about the mix in a jar and then all they have to do is add the wet ingredients (which is what I was thinking) or somehow you make a loaf of bread in the jar? Sorry, don't want to sound foolish but its a Monday!

again i am at work- the recipe i have is at home- i don't remember which farmgirl gave the info--but--you actually mix up the bread mix- i made pumpkin bread- and you bake it in a wide mouth jar- then put teh lid on ASAP after taking it out of the oven--that seals it in and it is supposed to last for about 2 years.... they were delish- i used them at christmas for gifts for co workers- tied a ribbon on and the recipe- they wuld be cute with a crocheted dish cloth on top ....
try this site http://maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5865&whichpage=4
you don't sound foolish! i am frustrated that i can't lead you right to it!!!!
wish i could remember whose website(blog) it was last fall or last winter--
