Christmas Brownies in Jar

When it comes to creating Christmas brownies in a jar, there are a few tips to keep in mind for a delightful and festive treat:

• Wide mouth mason jars work best, but regular mason jars work just as well.  
• It helps to use a wide mouth mason jar funnel when filling mason jars.  It has a larger opening, making pouring of dry ingredients into a jar without any spills or mess.
• Pack in each layer well before adding the next ingredient using a tart tamper tool.
• Always include instructions on how to bake the ingredients. 

Can you add Crushed Candy Canes to Brownie Mix?

For this recipe, I used peppermint baking chips, but you can substitute them with crushed peppermint candies or even crushed candy canes.

The candy canes will add a peppermint flavor and a hint of crunch to the brownies. Simply crush the candy canes into small pieces and add them to the mason jar.

📋Ingredients Needed for the Mason Jar

How to Assemble Mason Jar Peppermint Brownies

Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl. Then add to the bottom of a 32 ounce mason jar. Next, add the following over the flour in this order:

• One cup of the granulated sugar.
• Cocoa powder.
• Remaining cup of granulated sugar.
• Chocolate chips.
• Peppermint baking chips or crushed peppermint candies.
• Place the lid on top, seal and attach the " target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">free printable gift tag with pretty festive ribbon. 

📌Quick Tip: Use a tamper tart tool to firmly press each layer together before adding the next layer on top.

Step-by-Step Brownie Baking Instructions

• Step 1: Add the extra ingredients listed on the printable gift tag to a large mixing bowl.
• Step 2: Then stir in the contents of the mason jar. Mix to combine.
• Step 3: Spread the batter into a 9X13 baking dish that's been lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 18 to 25 minutes or until the center is set. 

How to Cut Brownies

• Step 4: Before cutting into the brownies, make sure they have completely cooled down. This helps them firm up and makes cutting easier. A sharp knife, serrated knife or a plastic brownie cutter can be used to neatly slice through the brownies

📌Quick Tip: Add a few crushed peppermint candies to the top of the brownies before serving!

Prep Ahead Tips

• For the best results, prepare the mix no more than 1-2 weeks before you want to give to family and friends.
• This will ensure that all the ingredients stay fresh and the flavors are preserved.
• Remember to seal the jar tightly and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• You can also add a tag or label with the expiration date or "best by" date to help the recipient.

Storage Tips

• Store the jar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A pantry or cupboard is ideal.
