Chewy Chocolate Brownie Mix in a Jar

Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
Using a large-mouth funnel, layer the ingredients in the order listed in a one quart mason jar. Make sure you press down each layer before you add another layer or you’ll run out of room. After you add the cocoa, the second layer, you’ll need to wipe out the inside of the jar with a cloth or paper towel. Once you have all the ingredients layered, seal the jar and cover it with ribbon, fabric, or other decoration.
