I’m so excited to share this gift idea and giveaway *Giveaway has now ended* with you! You know us bloggers love our Mason Jars, so I’m thrilled to team up with Ball to giveaway some of my favorite new jars and products to one of our readers. Plus I’m sharing an easy Halloween treat you can easily gift (in one of those cute jars, of course!)
I’ll be the first to admit…I use canning jars for drinking and gift giving way more than canning! That’s why I love these Heritage Edition Green jars from Ball – they’re fun to use for both! I whipped up a little spooky Halloween popcorn treat with one of my favorite flavors – Coconut! (Hello, Dirty Dr. Pepper!)
The green in the Coconut M&Ms is a great match for the green tinted Ball jars! All I did was drizzle melted white chocolate (green Candy Melts) over plain popcorn and mixed in the Coconut M&Ms!
Yum! My kids loved being the taste-testers for this one!
Adding some scrapbook paper and twine makes this treat a perfect gift for teachers, neighbors of friends!
Check out these new custom lids that fit Ball Mason Jars! First is an Infuser lid – to make your own delicious flavored water! I love this, because when I was super sick with this pregnancy I couldn’t handle drinking plain water. Just adding a few pieces of fresh citrus, berries or herbs adds so much to your water! The prize pack we’re giving away will also include these cute Sip & Straw Lids – perfect for sipping on homemade smoothies!
The green color is totally appropriate for a spooky Halloween party – and thinking ahead, would be great for Christmas, too! Here are some other gift ideas and printables you can add to Mason Jars to give as gifts!
