This great gift is an activity and a yummy treat that can be enjoyed warm, straight from the oven! - kat4

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups self-raising flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
160 g Mars mini M&Ms
1/2 tsp salt

Method

Step 1

Layer ingredients in a 500ml capacity jar. Press each layer down as you go. I use the end of a rolling pin. I like flour with salt, sugar, flour then M&mm's for stripe effect. M&M's last keeps lines clear otherwise it blends slightly.
Step 2

Print cooking instructions (see Notes) and tie with a ribbon around jar.

Equipment
