No time for holiday baking? No problem, give Rocky Road Brownies in a Jar!

During this time of year, there’s no denying that many of us get buried under a mound of holiday sweets. It’s a sweet tooth lover’s paradise, but having so many sweets at once can get a bit overwhelming.

The great thing about gifting a food Christmas jar is that the giver doesn’t have to bake and the recipient can decide when to bake their delicious gift for the freshest treat! To me, it’s a win-win for everyone!

Follow the directions on layering in the card below and print out the recipe card to attach to the jar. You can also bake the recipe yourself by following the baking directions.
