Ingredients

1 ¼ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅔ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
¾ cup caster sugar
¾ cup milk chocolate chips
¾ cup white chocolate chips
100 g walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

To make 'brownies in a jar' you'll need a 1 litre glass jar.
In a small bowl, mix the plain flour, salt and baking powder together.
Carefully spoon half of the flour mixture into the bottom of the glass jar. Gently move the flour around so that you have an even layer.
Spoon the cocoa powder on top of the plain flour in the jar and spread around to create another even layer.
Spoon the remaining flour mixture over the top.
Continue to create the layers in the following order - brown sugar, caster sugar, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and finally walnuts.
Close the lid of the glass jar (if you have any extra space at the top of the jar, simply top up with extra walnuts).

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:

Use a wide-mouth jar for easier layering and better presentation.
If you’re making a few jars at once, it’s easiest to scale up your dry ingredients (double, triple or more), then line the jars up and add each layer to all of them one ingredient at a time – just like a little production line.
Gently tap the jar on the bench between layers to keep them even.
Wipe the inside of the jar with a paper towel for clean, defined layers.
Don’t skip the brown sugar – it’s key for fudgy brownies!
If you have a bit of room at the top of the jar, simply add in some extra walnuts.
Store the jar in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Once baked, brownies keep in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
Freeze baked brownies for up to 3 months (slice first for convenience).
