And if you are looking for a suggestion when it comes to packaging, I highly recommend WECK Jars. They are so adorable, especially all tied up with a sparkly ribbon.

They are my very favorite jars. I use them for so many things, from storing my Cranberry Jam, the Hot Chocolate Mix, to storing chocolate chips, candies, cupcake wrappers, even flour and sugar in the tall, big jars. They are great for making centerpieces or a small decorating pieces for the fireplace. There are just so many ways to use them!

    Hi Mary! I have not tried using coconut milk in this recipe but I asked my food blogger friends if it will work. They say that as coconut milk is thicker, you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to it to thin it out. It should work well! Other substitutions seem to thin for this recipe. Let me know what you end up using. Thank you!!

    I love Weck jars more than is probably healthy. I have only a very small collection, and I’m always desperate for more!

    I adore jars! I love to store anything I have in them. Nuts, my pretty jams, treats for my granddaughter that I care for. Cotton balls in the bathroom . Or buttons in my sewing room. Thanks for the chance!

    I would have to keep a few to decorate in my country kitchen and the others I would fill and share as gifts.

    My Herb collection needs some cute jars with glass lids. Certain herbs really need to be displayed on my shelf in these jars. Think Anise, and Chamomile

    Thanks for this easy recipe! Will have something frugal but tasty to give to friends. I’ll use the Weck jars for some spices, and the rest for my beauty DIY ingredients, and even my beauty DIY products (e.g. whipped body butter, lip balm tins, and body scrubs)!

    Wow that fudge seems much more simple than others I have made! I would use the jars to replace my many many zip gallon storage bags filled with all my baking goods.

    Anna, my husband is going to LOVE you for this recipe! I’m sharing it, too 🙂

    I love glass jars! I love the idea of making mixes, storing them in a lovely jar, and giving them as gifts, but they are also perfect for storing BEADS and FINDINGS … of which I have thousands!!

    I would start with my chocolate chips. They sit on my counter so they are handy when I need a bit of chocolate.
