Mini Homemade Mixes - a Great Kid's Gift!

The Mixes, Mixes, Mixes blog post has been a viral hit on pinterest with well over 100,000 repins.  Today, I want to share with you the latest creation.  You could call them mini-mixes.  The idea is to allow young bakers (my 11-year old daugher in my case) an opportunity to explore their inner baker.  So, here is all you need:  Individual-sized mixes, printable labels and recipes, and several customized add-ons to make it a special gift.   If you follow Redfly, you saw a glimpse of this in an earlier post where I showed you how to etch glass.

I created the labels in two colors for the boys and two for the girls. You can mix and match, or print them all out in one color if you wish.

The boy colors are green and red.

The girl colors are blue and pink.

There are a total of 7 mixes.  The dry ingredients for the biscuit and brownie mixes are the amounts below taken from my bulk mixes.  The other mixes' dry ingredients are as follow:

Biscuits Mix:

1/4 cup from bulk biscuit mix

Brownie Mix:

1 1/8 cup from bulk brownie mix

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix:

6 tsp flour, 1/8 tsp baking powder

Peanut Butter Fudge:

1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons cocoa

Thick Style Pizza:

4 Tablespoons flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, dash of salt

Chocolate fudge:

1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Sugar Cookies:

3/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, 1/4 cup sugar


All of the dry ingredients are to be mixed up and placed in a snack size ziplock baggie.  Next, find the corresponding label and staple it to the top of the baggie.  The rest of the recipe is on the back side of the label.  

Match up the mixes with a couple of baking utensils and there you have it, a complete baking set for any child who loves to cook and/or bake!
