Preparation

Step 1

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in the order listed. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer. NOTE: Be sure to wipe out the inside of the jar with a dry paper towel after adding the cocoa powder, so the other layers will show through the glass.

Attach a tag with the following instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13inch baking pan.

Empty jar of brownie mix into a large mixing bowl, and stir to blend. Mix in 3/4 cup melted butter and 4 eggs. Mix thoroughly. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely in pan before cutting into 2 inch squares.
