- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cup of Yum
For Pecan Chewie Mix in a Jar:
- Using a wide mouth, quart-size glass jar, layer ingredients in the order given on the ingredient list starting with the white sugar on the bottom and ending with the flour mixed with 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp baking powder.
- After each ingredient is added, press it down firmly in the jar using the bottom of a narrow drinking glass or cup.
- Place the lid on the jar and tie the directions onto the jar with a decorative ribbon.
Notes
- When giving a gift in a jar, there are lots of fun, creative ways to decorate the jar and to attach the directions.
- I usually keep it pretty simple by punching a hole in the corner of the directions tag, stringing a ribbon through the hole, and then tying it around the lid.
- If the ribbon I'm using is wider than the whole punch, like in this picture, I tie the direction tag on with a string or yarn and then tie the ribbon over it.
