Mason Jar Recipes and Desserts that are Cute and Delicious (1)

Mason Jar Recipes are a fun way to serve desserts to your family and friends for graduation parties, bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties and even weddings!

For our daughter's bridal shower I prepared around 60 pudding desserts that I served in mason jars. I also decorated the venue using my antique mason jars filled with beautiful yellow tulips and daffodils.

I really needed to keep things simple for the bridal shower as I was doing all the cooking myself, therefore, dessert had to be EASY! Another plus to making desserts in a mason jar is that these pudding cups can be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

I experimented before the shower and came up with two different flavors that I thought would work for our event. To make the first recipe, I simply layered graham crackers with vanilla pudding, bananas and whipped cream.

As you can see from the photo below, they came out great!They're such a fun, cute dessert to serve to a large number of people.
