Brownie in a Jar

Is there a special someone in your life who loves food but doesn’t necessarily know how to cook? Layer a simple recipe in a jar for them. We made a special brownie mix which only needs the addition of oil and eggs and presto!


"An edible present that’s beautiful to look at"




Ingredients

1 quart sized jar
2⁄3 tsp salt
1 1⁄8 cup flour, divided
1⁄3 cup cocoa powder
2⁄3 cup brown sugar
2⁄3 cup white sugar
1⁄2 cup chocolate chips
1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips
1⁄2 cup walnuts or pecans


Serves...
10
 

A fun gift to whip together for a brownie loving friend

Layer it as evenly as possible for a pretty design



Method

Wash, rinse and dry canning jars then layer ingredients as follows:

2/3 tsp salt

5/8 cup flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup walnuts

Make sure you also print out a set of cooking instructions for your recipient.

Preheat oven to 175C. Grease a baking pan. Pour the contents of the jar into a large bowl and mix well.

Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2/3 cup vegetable oil and 3 eggs. Beat until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

You can do this with any of your favourite recipes or even do it for a soup. Layer stock granules with pasta and spices and all your recipient has to do is add it with water and boil for a delicious treat.
