Melissa says
Help! I want to make these for a Church Bazaar next month and the recipes say to stir in the M & M’s. How do you keep them separate if they are in a jar?
Heidi says
Hi Melissa ~ if making these as a gift in a jar, here are the instructions to do that:
https://thefrugalgirls.com/2013/11/christmas-cookie-mix-in-a-jar-recipe.html
After filling up the jar, attach a label with these instructions:
Beat together 2 eggs and 1/2 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil in medium bowl.
Pour in entire contents of jar, and stir well with spoon. {both cake mix and m&m’s will be stirred in together}
Chill dough for 20 minutes in the refrigerator prior to baking.
Then, drop onto ungreased non-stick cookie sheet in rounded balls.
Bake for approx. 8 – 9 minutes {or until done} at 350 degrees.
Does that help?

Just made these with yellow cake mix (store out of chocolate) and dark chocolate m&ms. Delicious. Now that they make a few varietys of Christmas m&ms. I bet the mint ones with chocolate cake mix would be great.
