I bought 8oz mason jars to do favors for my rehearsal lunch. I'll be putting a sweet something in them the weekend before and traveling 5 hours from Texas to Arkansas with them.
What's a good idea for a sweet filling that won't melt and can last a week?
Re: Help me fill my jars
The only thing I could think of that wouldn't melt is possibly some sort of hard candy. Is there anything native to your aea of TX that you could incorporate? I used to live in San Antonio, but I can't think of anything "sweet" from that area.....
Or, because in theory you might be able to drink from them, you could fill it with some sort of powdered drink mix like tea or lemonade, or even a dry cocktail mix wherein you only need to add the alcohol.
If you are really feeling ambitious, you could fill it with the dry ingredients needed to bake cookies, too. There's no "rule" that says the contents have to be instantly edible.
