Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1/3 cup sifted cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate bits
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate bits
- 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
Method
- 1Sift flour and baking powder together into a bowl. Spoon into a 1-litre capacity wide-lipped clear jar.
- 2Top with a layer of sugar, then cocoa. Add dark chocolate bits, milk chocolate, then marshmallows. Seal jar.
- 3Now simply write on a label the following instructions (or download ours here!) so your giftee can transform the mix into brownies: "To make me into brownies, preheat oven to 160°C and lightly grease and line a 20cm square cake pan. Melt 140g butter in a saucepan, cool for 10 minutes then whisk in 2 eggs. Add the contents of this jar and mix well. Spoon mixture into pan, bake for 30 minutes then leave to cool in pan. Cut into squares – and enjoy!"
Notes
Make a cone from paper and place inside the neck of the jar to keep the sides clean as you add the layers of ingredients. Tap the jar gently on a folded tea towel to neaten each layer, before adding the next.
