Christmas Jars

Flour, baking soda, baking powder, oats, chocolate chips, brown sugar, white sugar, more chocolate chips and chopped pecans- Check its all here and ready to go!
Its like creating sand art I love making them.

I made a total of 24 hours jars filled with a gourmet pecan bar mix. So yummy!
I still have to decorate the jars with a tag, ribbon, and bow for all the teachers in our lives.

I was tempted to make some extras for food storage. When you are not in the mood to bake but you wanted something delicious and easy you can just grab a jar out of the pantry. It took me about 2 hours start to finish including clean up. I am always surprised how long it takes because it seems so simple: measure, scoop, press each layer down etc but when you are doing 24 its a little time consuming but feels so great when you are done! We usually feel that most teachers get so many goodies to eat that most gets thrown out-- my mom who is a teacher has also admitted that-- so this was the best solution for that. We hardly make Christmas cookies anymore. Every year we get compliments and comments about the jars. I almost didn't do it this year but then I put the Christmas music on and went for it.
