    Recipe Introduction


    As a "thank you" to our 5th grade daughter's Wednesday evenings Youth Group Pastor, the assistant and to the adult member from our Church assigned as her secret prayer partner during the school year (it's kept a secret, and she'll meet her adult prayer partner at a potluck supper tomorrow evening), we made these up ...

    List of Ingredients




    1 glass pint wide-mouth canning jar + lid and ring
    10 of the small 100 Grand candy bars, they come in a package for less than $1.00
    1 piece of paper or wrapping tissue
    curling ribbon

    Recipe



    Line up 5 of the candy bars facing outward around the bottom of the jar. (* it helped to tape the candy wrapper ends to the back of the bar before placing in the jars). Insert a crumpled paper or tissue as "filler" to secure the bars outward, leaving some of the paper or tissue above the bottom layer of bars to be able to support a second layer of the candy bars, positioned again to face outward. This will completely fill the jar (and look so cute!).

    We did a jar lid of red construction to fit over the lid, under the ring, and printed a "Thanks a Million!!" on white cardstock, cutting in a smaller circle. When we taped this to the red lit, there was a red framing ring around the white printed sentiment.

    2 strips each of red and yellow curling ribbon added that festive final touch to this frugal, fun gift idea!
