Pyrex glass measuring cups

Measuring Spoons – I just love these, since they fit nicely inside most spice jars

Glass Mason Storage Jars, or these Glass Storage jars are nice for gifting, I also like gifting using this Glass Storage Jar

I use a wooden spoon to help pack the Homemade brownie mix in the jar.

To bake the brownies this Pyrex Glass Baking Dish is the best, since it has a lid!

Directions how to make Homemade Brownie Mix

The jar should be packed in this order to get the distinct layers. First mix the flour and baking powder together and layer in the bottom. I use the funnel from my canning set so it doesn’t make a mess when loading these jars. Use a wooden spoon to pack the flour in the bottom of the jar.

Next add the brown sugar. Pack this down really well on top of the flour.

Then mix the sugar and the salt. Add them on top of the brown sugar.

Lastly add the cocoa powder. It is best to add this last, since it is so fine it will end up coating the jar and you will lose your pretty sand art effect.

Then on top add the 1 cup chocolate chips for a fudgy brownie or nuts for a crunchy brownie.

To make the brownies add :

1 teaspoon homemade vanilla extract

3 eggs

1 Cup melted Butter or coconut oil

Pour mixture into a well greased 9 X 13 inch Pyrex Baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes for the best brownies ever.
