Do you cook your own Thanksgiving meal? Or do you have dinner at someone else s home? My mother taught me to when invited to a holiday meal it is only polite to bring a hostess gift. Now this is not mandatory and no one will think less of you if you don’t bring a hostess gift but how nice is it to receive a thoughtful gift from a holiday guest! Today I have a super cute hostess gift to bring to your Thanksgiving Hostess! How cute are these Brownies in a jar?
Not only is this gift cute the brownies are delicious! The recipe calls for 3 eggs which make the brownies very cake like! If you like your brownies more fudgy use 2 eggs! I really liked these because they are cakey, hubby likes his brownies more fudgy!
To assemble gift mix layer the flour, salt, baking powder, then brown sugar, sugar, cocoa, chocolate chips, and finally the M&M’s on top.
If your looking for the cute printable labels and tags head over the My Printly! You can download and print them from there!
