DIY Chocolate/Candy Jar

DIY Chocolate/Candy Jar! 

This is a little do-it-yourself gift I made a while back. It's super easy, simple, and fast to make! Definitely a perfect homemade gift for those with a major sweet tooth!

All you need is...
  • A 1 quart size Mason Jar -- I love how mason jars are so versatile! You can find these in packs on Amazon
  • Different kinds of chocolate and candies -- You pick and choose what you like! Or what the recipient will like! I ended up getting about 6 bags of candy to fit into 3 jars.
  • A ribbon and tie to wrap around the lid of the jar. -- Purely for aesthetic reasons. :)

    Done!

Fruit Oat Jars


Fruit Oat Jars

Ingredients:
  • Rolled Oats
  • Almond Milk
  • Purple Grapes
  • Bananas
  • Baby Carrots
  • Asian Pears
  • Apples
  • Grape Tomatoes
  • Nuts
  • Clementine
  • Toppings: Cinnamon, Chia Seeds, Honey

Directions:
  1. Grab a quart-size mason jar and fill the bottom with rolled oats and almond milk.
  2. Fill the rest of the container with the ingredients listed above.
Tips:
  • Oats and milk should be placed at the bottom of the jar. Otherwise, it won't look as clean!
  • These jars are quite large (quart-size) for one meal. It's better to use pint-size mason jars if you just want to grab-and-go.
  • You can make as much as you'd like beforehand, but the oats and milk combo gets soggy pretty fast.
