Hello everyone! My name is Cindy Hopper and I blog at Skip to my Lou.
I love making home made gifts! Jar Mixes make great gifts! It is especially nice that they can be made ahead!
To make these brownies start by layering the ingredients in order in a one quart wide mouth jar. Press each layer firmly
Peppermint Brownie Mix for Jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup Andes Peppermint crunch baking chips (or chopped Andes mints)
- 1 1/4 cup flour (carefully add this layer as some of it will sink into the mints)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Layer ingredients in a mason jar. Tie with ribbon and download printable tag with instructions. When baked, makes 24 servings.
Nutrition
Download and print the labels on a sheet of label/sticker paper. At my local Office Max or Kinko’s they call this 1-up sticker/label paper. It is one solid sheet.

I hope you will stop by and visit me! Lets keep in touch! You can follow me on Pinterest and Facebook. I have some free printable gift tags for my friends on facebook and will be sharing the 2013 printable calendar soon.
I have made these as end of year teachers gift. The mason jars I used were too small for the full recipe to be included so I halved the recipe and it still worked (as I did a test batch). I edited the labels to make sure only half the other ingredients would be added by the recipients for perfect brownies. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.
Can you sub gluten free flour without modifying the recipe for friends with gluten allergies?
Hi Callie! I am not too familiar with substituting gluten flour in recipes so I am not sure. I would try making a test batch first before making a bunch for friends. Let us know if it works for you! :)
I go to this website every year for Christmas! Thank you! These have been a joy to give out to friends, family, and neighbors every year! Besides how nice they look….they are AMAZING brownies!!
I’m so glad you have loved these and are sharing them with friends and family! :) Thanks for commenting Jamie.
I bought everything needed to make 12 of these, and luckily decided to try out the recipe myself first… Had to trow away a 13×9 pan of muck. The middle was uncooked (after 30 minutes) and the bare edges that did cook was unable to be scraped out of the pan.
Made these – they came out amazing!! Here is a link to a picture of how mine turned out. https://www.facebook.com/curvyandfab/photos/pcb.1346265485502780/1346265412169454/?type=3&theater
The instructions were so easy to follow and I can’t wait to hand these out. I’m doing 12 total.
Make sure you really pack down each layer as this recipe fills your one quart mason jar right up to the top.
I’m so glad they turned out well for you! Your picture looks awesome! :)
