Canning Jar Cakes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect gift for sending to loved ones and friends. You can choose any flavor cake or quick bread to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:
1 boxed cake mix of your choice (prepared as directed)
6 pint size mason jars with bands and seals
1 baking sheet
spray oil for jars
scraps of fabric
rubber bands\/ribbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glaze
1 cup pounded sugar
1\/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box.<\/li>
  2. Scoop the cake mix into the clean jars, filling to the 1 cup line or about halfway.<\/li>
  3. Bake for about half the time as directed on the box or for about 25 minutes.<\/li>
  4. While the cakes are baking you can prepare the glaze topping by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together.<\/li>
  5. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.<\/li>
  6. Use a metal straw or a wooden skewer to quickly make holes in the cake so the glaze will soak in.<\/li>
  7. Pour the glaze evenly between the six jars.<\/li>
  8. Quickly put the seals and bands on the jars while they are hot, this is how the jars will seal. <\/li>
  9. When cooled, decorate, or eat.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Peanut Butter Buckeyes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    1 cup butter softened<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    2 cups creamy peanut butter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    4 cups confectioners’ sugar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    1\/2 teaspoon vanilla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. In a large bowl mix together the softened butter and peanut butter.<\/li>
    2. Add the sugar and vanilla. Mix well. <\/li>
    3. Make one-inch balls out of the dough and lay them on a cookie sheet.<\/li>
    4. Now we need to melt the chocolate baking chips. I melted mine in a small bowl in the microwave. You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler if you like. It is easier to dip if you use a small bowl. Do not overheat the chocolate in the microwave. Watch it closely.<\/li>
    5. You can keep reheating the bowl of chocolate when it gets cool and clumpy. Usually after every couple of peanut butter balls.<\/li>
    6. Using a toothpick, roll in the chocolate.<\/li>
    7. Set them on a cookie sheet to dry.<\/li>
    8. You can freeze Peanut Butter Buckeyes for up to three months.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
