I've started being very enamored of "Gifts In A Jar" and "Gifts In A Bag". This is one I gave in 2004 to a few people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup cocoa
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Ogres Have Many Layers
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Place this mixture into the bottom of a clean, dry quart jar (wide mouth or narrow.) Layer remaining ingredients in order listed, packing firmly after each addition. You can tap the bottom of the jar on the counter to get them to settle, or you can use a tart tamper. Put on the lid, and screw down the band. Makes one jar.
Do It Yourself Treats
To make the brownies, you will need:
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 jar of brownie mix
Preheat the oven to 350. Pour the mix out of the jar into a large bowl. Stir to combine ingredients. Add butter and eggs, and mix with a large spoon until completely blended. Pour into a lightly-greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes, or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan slightly. Remove from oven, cool, and cut into squares. Makes about 16 brownies.
Notes and Hints and Stuff
- Don't Forget the Details!
You can decorate the jar by placing a fabric square or round over the lid and under the screw band, or over the entire lid and securing it with a ribbon. Don't forget to include the instructions for making the brownies!
