  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

Add-ins

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

Notes

  • Ensure the jar is tightly sealed to keep the mix fresh for up to 3 months.
  • Shake the jar gently before baking to mix the ingredients if they settle.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • The recipient will need to add wet ingredients such as eggs, oil, and vanilla to bake the brownies (instructions should be included on the gift tag).
  • To customize, substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit if desired.
