Sand Art Brownies- Gift in a Jar

Are you familiar with gifts in a jar? There are so many ideas floating around the internet, but today, I’m going to share my favorite gift in a jar- Sand Art Brownies!

The concept of Sand Art Brownies is simple. All of the ingredients are layered into a quart jar. It’s not only a beautiful presentation, but makes some delicious brownies!

I love giving mixes as Christmas gifts because it seems like the holidays are sugar-overloaded! We’ve given Homemade Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancake Mix and Blueberry Muffin Mix , so it makes sense that another mix was in order.

Yes, these are sweet, but by giving this brownie mix in a jar, the receiver can make these brownies whenever they need a quick treat–whether that is during the holidays or after the New Year.

Not only is this mix super practical, but the brownies are so tasty! Win-win!

Simply attach a tag to the jar and you’ve got your Christmas gifts all taken care before the last minute. Yay! Feel free to make your own tags, or click here for printable, pre-made tags like the ones in the above photos.
