Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Start with a clean, dry 1-quart jar to layer the ingredients for the brownie mix.
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the bottom of the jar, using a funnel if needed to keep the layer tidy.
Carefully spoon in 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour to create the second layer.
Add 0.33 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder as the third layer, spreading it evenly.
Add 0.5 cups of packed brown sugar for the fourth layer, pressing gently to keep it compact.
Layer 0.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips as the fifth layer.
Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of baking powder evenly on top for the final layer.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a label or tag with instructions for baking the brownies.
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.'
