Preparation:

  1. Pour the first ingredient into the jar, pour a layer of half an inch or so of your first ingredient.
  2. Gently shake the jar to straighten the first layer, then pour in a different ingredient. (Make sure each layer is a different color to create a beautiful contrast between layers, as pictured above)
  3. Continue until the jar is 3/4 full, then add the chocolate chips and pecans (for a decorative version that will last longer, avoid the pecans and chocolate chips).
  4. Seal the jar.
