has anyone tried to ship these? I would like to send some to my niece for her bday next month. I have only shipped cookies before and don't want to spend the money on the containers if I cannot ship them. TIA for any input

I have not shipped these before, but I can say that the ones I made did very well loose in a bag. I can't see why you couldn't ship these. As long as the turn around for her to get them isn't too long. I would love to hear how you make out!

I haven't shipped them either, but I've made them twice already for birthday parties and they've been OK unattended for the one hour ride.

Here's a place that ships them so you can take a look at the box.

Thank you both for replying. I will go ahead and order the containers, we'll see what happens. I just wanted to make sure there weren't a bunch of disaster stories LOL
