Sand Art Brownies

This is a great idea that I have used as Christmas gifts several times. It's easy to make up a bunch of these at one time, and they are THE MOST decadent, rich, and delicious brownies you will ever have.

Put in 1 mason jar, in order:

  • ½ cup flour, plus 2 Tbsp. flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  •  
    Type up the below with the wet ingredients, baking instructions, and frosting recipe. I used green paper to print out and make the card and cut it into a Christmas tree shape, tying it to the lid with a string of raffia.I got a piece of holiday fabric, cut it with craft scissors, and tied it with the card and the raffia.


    When ready to bake add:
    • 1 tsp. vanilla
    • ½ cup oil
    • 3 eggs beaten
    • Pour into greased 9x11” pan
    • Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees
    • Cool and frost
    Chocolate Frosting:
    • ¼ cup butter
    • 1 cup sugar
    • ¼ cup milk
    • ½ cup chocolate chips
    • 1 bag large marshmallows

      Cook butter, sugar, and milk on stove top just until boiling
      Add chocolate chips and large marshmallows
      Mix until gloss wears off
