List of Ingredients





¼ cup white chocolate or vanilla chips
½ cup chopped pecans, toasted and cooled completely
½ cup sweetened dried cherries or cranberries
½ cup packed light brown sugar (see cook's note)1 cup biscuit & baking mix
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup biscuit & baking mix (Bisquick)


Recipe



In 1-quart wide-mouth glass jar, gently layer and pack ingredients in the order listed, beginning with white chocolate chips. If there is any space left after adding the last ingredient, add more white chocolate chips to fill the jar. Place lid on top. Cut an 8-inch circle of fabric to cover lid. Place fabric over lid; secure in place with ribbon or raffia. Decorate as desired.

Cook's note: After measuring the brown sugar, crumble it between your fingers for uniform texture. Be sure to pack the brown sugar firmly in the jar to prevent the baking mix from sifting down through it.
