🍶Storage Tips

• Mason jar gift ideas and mixes should last up to 6 months if stored in the pantry closet.
• Try not to store the jars on the counter in direct sunlight. That could cause the contents to go stale quicker.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• Make sure you use a mason jar funnel to help you get the ingredients into the mason jar without making a huge mess.
• If you decide to add chocolate chips or any other chopped candy pieces, place them in the jar at the top otherwise they might get buried and hidden.
