How should I layer the Mixes?

There is no right or wrong way to layer your jar mixes. However, to make the CONE most appealing, try using various textures & contrasting colors. For instance in a Butterscotch cookie mix, place a layer of flour first, brown sugar second, nuts third , butterscotch chips fourth and so on. The variety will add appeal to your gifts and make them visually enticing.

Here are several tips for successfully layering your Cones.

  • Start with the lightest ingredients first: Flour (be sure to mix your baking soda, powder, salt if listed). This will ensure that the mix incorporates smoothly.
  • Remember to use recipes that are a total of 2-3 cups of ingredients.
  • Add your nuts, raisins, chocolate pieces, candies and other larger, more coarse ingredients.
