Need to something to give away cookies in?

Daisy22

I make these M&M cookie bars for all my neighbors for christmas and usually just put them in their mailbox. Last year I just did plates with the bars on them but I kindof wanted to do something in plastic or tin. Does anyone know of a place to get cheap (I need 20) tins or plastic containers?

I get mine every year at wal-mart or even better the $1 store.  I have been doing this the last couple years...making baked goods as part of my gift giving.  People seem to really love it!  Merry Christmas!

Ha, I didn't even think about the dollar store. I wonder where one is close to me. And I've been doing the baked goods for people for the last 2 years esp for all my neighbors. We just have so many friends and I can't afford to buy them all gifts so baked goods are easy. Plus I've already had some neighbors ask if I was doing my bars this year so I guess they are liked.

I totally understand where you're coming from!  Baked goods are always a hit to me...they're personal and from the heart...and so tasty!!

I was just in the Wal-mart holiday section on Monday and they had a ton of cute treat bags that were cheap and they had some tins as well, but the bags were really cute.

Wal-Mart, Target, Hobby Lobby all have cute little treat bags or boxes that are cheap!  Can I have a bar, sounds yummy

Merry Christmas, Wendy!!

No suggestions but if you're going to post something like this, you have to post the recipe too!

Michael's - right now it's all 30% off. Other places are Big Lots, Target or Wal Mart.

The dollar tree near my house has cookie tins for $1 each. They are pretty cute, too!

Dollar Tree and dollar spot at Target- I don't like to pay more than a dollar for that type of thing!

I got awesome plastic containers with Christmasy stuff on them for $1.49 at The Container Store.  They are cute and really big.  I'm planning on giving them to the mailman and some neighbors.

And, what is the recipe for these cookie bars?

Carrie - great idea about the container store. I have to go to perimeter for my OB appt in a little bit so I'll stop by that one.

Here's the recipe:
