If you are into the Mason jar gift giving, below are some recipes for quick reference. ********** HOT CHOCOLATE MIX 4 cups dry milk 1 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon instant decaffeinated coffee (optional) Mix the ingredients and put them into a plastic container or double plastic bags. Label the mix "Hot Chocolate. Use 1/4 cup per cup of boiling water." Makes 20 cups. (Makes 80 servings ********** Cappuccino Mix 1 and 1/3 cup instant coffee 1 and 1/2 cup instant coffee creamer 2 cups instant chocolate drink mix 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Mix well, store in airtight container. To use it, stir about 3 teaspoonsful into a cup of boiling hot water. This makes a great gift. ********** Corn Bread Mix 1 cup yellow corn meal 1 cup flour 1/4 cup sugar (optional) 4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt Sift together all ingredients and store in a plastic bag, at room temperature. Makes 1 package. To use: Pour package of mix into a bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 4 Tbsp. softened shortening. Beat until smooth (about 1 minute with egg beater). Pour batter into a greased 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until knife inserted at the center comes out clean. For muffins: Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes. ********** CAKE MIX 6 c. flour 3 Tbsp. baking powder 1-1/2 c. Crisco 4 c. sugar 2 tsp. salt Plain Cake: 2 c. cake mix 1 tsp. vanilla 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/2 c. milk In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Store in airtight container in cool, dry place. Use within month if possible. It does keep quite well if stored for a longer period of time. This is a great alternative to packaged mixes. Plain Cake: Stir ingredients for plain cake until well blended.

For a 9 x 13-inch pan or layer cakes, double ingredients. ********** Chocolate Pudding Mix 2 1/2 cups instant nonfat dry milk 5 cups sugar 3 cups cornstarch 1 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups unsweeteened cocoa Mix all ingredients together until they are well blended.
