How to Make Mason Jar Brownies

Clean your mason jar before making this craft. Be sure to wipe out the inside of the jar with a dry paper towel after adding the cocoa powder, so the other layers will show through the glass.

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in the order listed. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer. Adding the white ingredients to the top and the bottom of the jar gives a satisfying winter feel, but you are welcome to add the ingredients in any order you wish.

Include a card or label with the following instructions:

Brownie Mix in a Jar 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13inch baking pan. 2. Empty jar of brownie mix into a large mixing bowl, and stir to blend. Mix in 3/4 cup melted butter and 4 eggs. Mix thoroughly. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan. 3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely in pan before cutting into 2 inch squares.

For the jar decoration, add a small dab of hot glue at the top of the mason jar and attach one end of the twine. Wrap the twine several times around the top of the jar. Tie in a small piece of tree trimmings and add another dab of hot glue to keep the trimming from sagging.
