Start the Guide ›

A great thoughtful but inexpensive gift idea. Each of these jars cost me about the same as a cup of fancy coffee (with all the ingredients)! But they still look impressive! Enjoy!

Interesting. It works fine on the iPhone. I'll let the ppl at snapguide know. Thanks for that!

I was unable to read all of the recipe. The margins overran the screen on my ipad. Might want to shrink it down a bit. Makes a nice present.
