Homemade Brownie Mix

This mix is great for a gift idea!  It makes 4 batches, which fit well-packed in a 500ml canning jar!  I love this idea.  Also, if you need to make a dessert very quick, but do not want the hassle or mess; this pre-made mix is perfect.  It has powdered milk; so as long as it is well sealed you should be able to store it in the cupboard for a few weeks, the fridge for longer, or if you really want to store it away in the freezer [to be forgotten about].. maybe you should just gift it 😉

2.5 cups will fit, packed in, into a 500mL canning jar. Lightly tap the jar on the counter to compress the mix; then add more until you reach 2.5 cups.

Since I think this makes a good gift idea, I’m going to include a little image you can print to go along with the mixture as a gift tag. Click Here to Open the PDF.
