Free printable recipe attachment! video tutorial This week, I’ll be sharing a new Christmas Mason Jar dessert everyday (4 in total). Click here to see the M&M Christmas Cookies I shared yesterday. Above this text is a quick video overview showing the assembly of the mason jar desserts and also the final treat the mason jar will make. Below are the tools I use to make the mason jar desserts. For these mason jar desserts, I use: Mason Jars (Set of 12) Wide Mouth Funnel (Makes assembly a million times easier!) Food Scale Red Holiday Ribbon (The exact one I use pictured below was purchased from Hobby Lobby) Miniature Clothespins Mini Wire Kitchen Whisks (Set of 12) FREE Printable Recipe Attachment I’ve shared peppermint bark brownie cookies before on my site and they’ve been a HUGE hit with so many of you! Unfortunately the entire recipe didn’t fit in a mason jar, so I adjusted the quantities to make a half batch of these cookies. To make an entire batch of these cookies, follow this recipe.

Thank you for wonderful Christmas Presents for Family and Friends. Your directions are easy to follow. Reply
Hi, I’m going to try this recipe for gifts so I’ll be using the mason jars. However, I noticed in the full recipe, you added flour and that is not in the mason jar recipe. Will that make a difference in the cookies? Thanks so much for the lovely gift idea!! Reply
Hi Stephanie! I tested the half batch a couple of times because it is a bit different than the full batch of these cookies 🙂 So you don’t need the flour in the half batch! Hope that helps and Merry Christmas! Reply
I am so excited to gift these for Christmas! I have some family with dairy, gluten, and soy sensitivities. Any recommendations for substitutions to still make this recipe work? Reply
Honestly I’m not very experienced in cooking without gluten, dairy, and soy. I wish I could be of more help Reply
I can only find the small squares of peppermint bark. How many ounces are in a full bar? Also, in the comments, peppermint extract is mentioned but it is not on the recipe. ?? Thanks for your help. Reply
I searched for the same information and found bars on the Ghirardelli site at 3.5 ounces. Do you think that seems about right? Reply
