    May I use betty Crocker super moist chocolate fudge with the same wet ingredients you mention in your site? Or do I use the boxes wet ingredients minus the water?

    Why the different time to refrigerate the dough for the recipes, some you have to refrigerate 15 min. before baking and others 45 min.

      Hi Monica,

      Due to the variations in the different doughs, the time required to refrigerate will vary. Hope that helps! 😉

    When you do the gifts in a jar such as cookie mixes and food items, how long do they stay good for before having to use. I do a lot with helping families around Christmas time and wondered if I made a bunch up for Christmas this year, how early I could make them up and them stay fresh. Love the ideas you have on here. Glad I found your site. Thanks

    Where did you find the MINI Reeces? I can’t find them ANYWHERE! Not even Amazon or Winco has them!
