*~*~*Last Minute Gift Idea - Sandcastle Brownies*~*~*

This is great for those who have everything.
Also, it is usable so we are not
decorating someones house,
providing them with 
clothes they will never wear
or a gadget to dust etc.

Just gather up a few things.

Sandcastle Brownies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a 1 qt. jar, layer

1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup flaked coconut
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 1/2 cup flour

Then on a tag provide the following information:

Additional Ingredients
2 eggs
2/3 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix well then bake in greased 8" pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 min.

I just printed it up on a little tag and attached it with a ribbon.
You can do several at one time if you have 
the need to do so.

PS: I like to use pickle jars - washed and sanitized of course.
We certainly wouldn't want pickle flavored brownies.
If you use a regular canning quart jar, 
the layers will actually look a little better
or thicker, but these are jars that I'll never see again.
I think of it as a great way to recycle.
You can also add a piece of fabric over the lid
for an even more festive look.

Until next time,

Chocolate Sunday

Just a quick post so you can see the results of my Sunday in the kitchen.


A bourbon brownie cake, peppermint drizzlers and button-ups.  I made three of these plates.  I have a few more things to make for a couple other folks so I am not finished yet.
I also made hamburger soup for dinner.  It's not as exciting and I don't have a picture, but it was sure good on a cold, snowy, blustery day.
Hope you are all keeping warm and chocolaty:)
Until next time,
