This is a great recipe for gift giving. Great for Teachers, secretaries, co-workers, babysitters... just about everyone loves brownies. Not to mention, they are cute in a country style kitchen.

Final Comments


After assembling the jar(s) I cut a circle of appropriatly patterned fabric to cover the lid of the jar, and I tie it with a piece of raffia, and attach the tag.
An additional idea for gift giving, you could give the jar, lying down in a square cake pan, with a wire wisk, or wooden spoon, a mixing bowl, some dish towels, anything you can think of. Be creative and ENJOY!
