In my most recent issue of Martha Stewart Living they featured these adorable decorated glass jars filled with Easter treats (white chocolate bunnies and lambs, robin's eggs, M & M's etc). I loved the idea so much that I made some tonight as a gift for a special friend who invited us over for Easter dinner on Sunday. I was not able to find small white chocolate bunnies or lambs but I think the colored bunnies and chocolate bunny look just fine. I also made three tags for each jar and decorated the tops with patterned paper. I thought these would be a fun surprise instead of taking flowers or wine as a thank you for the invitation. I sure hope she likes them. I purchased the jars at World Market and then filled them with candy and chocolate bunnies. I did fill mine a bit more than they did in the magazine because of transporting them. I didn't want the bunnies to fall down or break on the way to their house. I do like them a little better with fewer goodies but they were too unstable without really filling in around the bunnies. Now I just need to make a card.
