What You’ll Need To Make This Easter M&M Cookie Mix in a Jar:

  • 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

Instructions:

  • 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 with Baking Instructions:

  • 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.
  • Pour in entire contents of jar, and stir well with spoon.
  • Chill dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator prior to baking.
