Servings:

Equipment

Quart-Sized Wide mouth jar
Funnel
Spoon

Ingredients

Dry mix for jar:

1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup Andes Peppermint crunch baking chips , or chopped Andes mints or chopped candy canes
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Ingredients to add later:

1 cup butter , melted
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

To assemble the mason jar brownies:

In a quart-sized wide mouth jar, layer the following: 1 cup sugar, 2/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips (or chopped Andes mints or chopped candy canes), 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking powder. I'd recommend using a funnel to add the ingredients and then push each layer down with a spoon for easy packing. Make sure to really pack in each layer.
Close the lid and tie the jar with ribbon and free printable tags.

To bake the brownies:

When ready to bake, dump the contents into a bowl and then add 1 cup butter, 4 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix just until combined. Pour into a 9x13" pan and bake at 350°F for 25-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean.
