Homemade Brownie Mix in a Jar
If you're into thick, moist, and delicious brownies, this homemade brownie mix is perfect! Keeping a jar in the pantry makes it easy to throw together a batch at a moment's notice without having to fuss with pulling out a bunch of ingredients. We like to keep several in the pantry at all times, but also love to share these with friends and family as a homemade gift! Great for holiday gift baskets, housewarmings, and more.

Notes
These brownies are THICK, which is how I like them. Be sure to bake until a toothpick comes out just barely clean and let them cool at room temperature to set up.
For the best results, use the dry mixes within 3-6 months.
