Easter M&M Cookie Mix in a Jar

What You’ll Need:

• 1 box Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix {15.25 oz.}
• 1 bag Bunny Mix M&M’s {12.6 oz.} ~ use 3/4 of bag
• Twine, Scrapbook Paper, etc. for Embellishments
• 1 quart size Wide Mouth Mason Jar

What You’ll Do:

• Carefully empty the contents of the cake mix package into your quart-sized wide mouth Mason Jar, and gently pat down the top.
• Sort 3/4 of the M&M’s by color.  {we’ll only be using 3/4 of the bag, so the rest are officially for snacking on now!}
• Then layer the M&M’s by color in the jar.
• Put the silver jar topper on top, place a round scrap of scrapbook paper on top, or a Doilie or piece of fabric, then screw on the jar’s lid.
• Tie a little bow and add some twine or fun embellishments if you’d like!
• Optional: You could use Sticker Letters or even print the words ‘Cookie Mix’ like I did here

• Attach a label {or you can add the instructions to the top of the jar’s lid} with the following baking instructions.
• Beat together 2 Eggs and 1/2 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil in medium bowl.
