I have become a bit obsessed with mason jars and seem to be using them for a myriad of things. From baking cakes in them (See photo below of Lekach for Mivtzoim and a gift at my daughters Bas Mitzvah  to stacking gelt in them! This makes a great gift to friends, Baal Habatim, community leaders and can even be used in local stores who may wish to offer a sweet Chanukah treat! I love making my labels on www.myownlabels.com and hope you will too!

I love the idea. Did you bake the honey batter in the jar?
Yes, just fill the jar half way with batter, place jars on a baking tray and bake in oven at regular temperature. If the batter rises above jars, then just slice the extra part off once the cake has cooled. I have tried this with lemon cake as well…the idea are endless! Happy Baking!
What size jar and chocolate coins did you use?
I used a few different sizes but the best size is the 4 ounce or 6 ounce. The bigger you go with your jar, the more coins you need so it starts to get more expensive. You need about 12 – 18 coins for the 4 ounce, but I bought a tub of the larger size coins from the shluchim office. I hope this helps, if you need more info just let me know. Hatzlocha!
