Trying to figure out an easy and fun Christmas gift for friends and family? These brownies in a jar are super fast to throw together and taste delish!

Brownies in a Jar. Great gift idea for friends and family!

More edible-gift in a jar ideas today with two mixes that you can put together quickly. The first of them is this really simple Brownies in a Jar. Seriously, who doesn’t love brownies? If you don’t, I’m sorry. That stinks. Because they are awesome! It’s always handy having a little brownie mix around. It’s like my go-to sweets fix when I just need something…NOW.

Make these truly gourmet that will knock the socks off any of the store-bought versions by using a high quality cocoa powder (like Scharffen Berger) and adding some chocolate chips to the mix.

  2. Layer remaining ingredients in the order listed.
  3. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer. (Note: After adding the cocoa powder, wipe out the inside of the jar with a dry paper towel to remove any cocoa powder dust that may have accumulated on the sides.)

  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  4. Add melted butter and eggs.
  5. Mix until all is moistened and combined.
  6. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in preheated oven.
  8. Cool completely in pan.
  9. Cut and serve!
