Attach a tag with the following baking instructions: 'Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled slightly). Mix until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before cutting and serving.'
