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!
