what you see below is the most delicious idea since sliced cake. these recently appeared in Austin Java's around Austin, and they are wonderful!
there are not even words to explain the magnificence. the flavor pictured is fuggedabodit (fudge, espresso, italian cream, mmmm.) some of their flavors that make me giggle are austin creme pie and armadillo jar (red velvet and chocolate mouse, get it?) the beauty is that they are freezable, as they seal just like when you're 'canning' fruit, jam, etc. then once the seal is popped they keep in the fridge for a little bit.
apparently, though, deliciousness in a jar is NOT a new idea (these guys just got to me i suppose.) so i was inspired to research how to create my own delicious in a jar. there are great recipes for cake in a jar around the world wide web, and even how to seal them so they can be given as gifts, mailed across the world, etc. here's a sweet resource i found for tons of different gifts in a jar. (not all immediately edible, however. the cake in a jar is unique and not replicable.)
i had to share these stupendous discoveries. my conclusion from this whole experience is that ball jars rock my socks.
