I made a guessing jar for a family reunion on my step-mom's side. I decided to do something a little different than a typical 'fill a jar with candy' theme. I made a chocolate chip cookie recipe jar. They had to guess how many toffee pieces - hehe
I added instructions how to finish them and taped it to the lid.
Then I put a picture of ancestors over the instructions, I thought the name of their family reunions was cute - Dys-Fun (for dysfunctional - haha) Family Reunion:
This is my own recipe for chocolate chips cookies and it's a yummy one. You can make them and judge for yourself ;)Tasty Chocolate Chip Cookies
