Hot Chocolate Cake Cookie Mix in a Mason jar

Prep time: 15 minutes

A fun, festive cookie mix built around a boxed Devil's Food cake mix, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows: a great gift to assemble with kids, and the jar gets a second life once the cookies are gone.

4. Seal with a reCAP FLIP lid.
5. Attach a gift tag with baking instructions.
