Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.33 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
Instructions
In a clean 1-quart mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, walnuts (if using), salt, and baking powder. Gently tap the jar after each layer to ensure it is packed snugly and the layers remain distinct.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a tag with the following baking instructions: 'Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Spread batter evenly into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs (not wet batter). Let cool completely before cutting into squares.'
Store the jar in a cool, dry place until ready to gift or use. The mix can be stored for up to 3 months.
