I love easy neighbor gifts and Jar Gifts are the perfect way to gift friends, families or even co-workers. Here are 18 Jar Gift ideas with even more creative ideas.

Often we are overloaded with cookies and candies during the holidays. A jar mix allows the recipient to bake up a treat when they want it after all the other holiday treats are gone.

How to Assemble Peppermint Brownie Mix in a Jar

To make these brownies start by layering the ingredients in order in a one-quart wide-mouth jar. Press each layer firmly.

• 1 cup of sugar
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips (or 1 – 4.67 oz box Andes Mints, chopped)
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Download and print the labels in color on white sticker paper.  I upload the file to Office Max (Office Depot) and choose specialty paper and then label paper. I feel like I get the best copy this way. You can also purchase label paper and print them at home.

Cut out the labels and stick to the jar. The top instruction label can be cut with a 2 1/4 inch circle punch.

The recipient will add 1 cup melted butter, 4 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla to the dry mix and bake in a 9 X 13 inch prepared pan with cooking spray. Your friends will be able to bake up the most delicious brownies ever! So moist and fudgy with just the right amount of mint. Better than a box mix any day!
