Food gifts are always a favorite of mine. These Cinnamon Honey Butter jars make a pretty presentation when you add a little bling to the jars, and pair with homemade bread, pound cake, biscuit mix or even bagels!
I’ve made several batches already, and we wont mention how much my family has devoured!
Warning……..you may want to double or triple the recipe because everyone is going to want some!

Cinnamon Honey Butter (recipe below)

I used the font “Cheryl Hand” , size 15, center alignment and I layed it all out using the template in Word for 1.6″ circle labels. Then printed on my card stock.

RT @Tidymom: Cinnamon Honey Butter – Gifts in a Jar! So simple, so pretty! 
What a fun idea!! Can’t wait for the pound cake recipe too – so much better than another boring store gift!!
I just made the butter (a quadruple batch) to give with mini banana bread loaves. It is delicious and so easy!
These look awesome..just wondering on their shelf life ( assuming that everyone doesnt eat them up in the first week?) Thanks
Butter has a shelf life of 3 months for unsalted butter and up to 5 months for salted butter
