Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Start with a clean, dry 1-quart jar to layer the ingredients for the brownie mix.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the bottom of the jar, using a funnel if needed to keep the layer tidy.
Step 3
Carefully spoon in 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour to create the second layer.
Step 4
Add 0.33 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder as the third layer, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
Add 0.5 cups of packed brown sugar for the fourth layer, pressing gently to keep it compact.
Step 6
Layer 0.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips as the fifth layer.
Step 7
Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of baking powder evenly on top for the final layer.
Step 8
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a label or tag with instructions for baking the brownies.
Step 9
Include the following directions on the label: 'To prepare these brownies, empty the jar contents into a mixing bowl. Add 2/3 cup of melted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Pour batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into squares.'
