No gift mix in a jar for me -- I just baked the muffins for someone instead! I'm sure the gift mix in a jar would have been pretty, though. ;) I used granulated brown sugar, because I hate dealing with sugar that hardens on me ... I also used margarine and soy milk to keep it nondairy. It got high ratings -- "They're good," coming from a harsh critic! Thanks for posting.
