Although I did not make this, I did put it together in a jar, and just so you know, all the ingredients did not fit. I was barely able to fit the sugar, there was no room at all for the pecans. I'm just saying.

I made these as christmas gifts this year. But I improvised a little. Alot of my friends are still single and forcing them to make a whole batch of brownies didnt seem right, so instead I cut the recipe in half and put them in pint jars instead. They are still pretty and i did a test run to see if they would come out and they do. Instead of an 8x8 pan I greased a cupcake/muffin pan and place the brownie mixture in it. They were good and turned out alot better then i had imagined! Great gift and I agree with alot of the other users that the cocoa does stick to the side, I recommend using a funnel or a pastry bag to fill the jars, and when packing them remind yourself that maybe it all wont fit but giving your friends options is alot nicer. I placed walnuts, christmas mnms, and mini chocolate chips in bags and attached them to the jars, so when they made them they had the option to use one, all, or none. Great gift idea that helped the ball roll!

mine turned out a bit dry. More like a cake. Not moist. I would add a cup of chocolate chips to add those melted moist structure to them.

Just made this (with the following modifications recommended by other reviewers: 1 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract). Not very good. Decent, fixed my chocolate craving, but not something I'd both to make again.

easy and delicious; when you need a brownie mix and don't have one on hand.

This is a great recipe. We made these in PINT size jars with 30 preschoolers in our MOP's program. It went so well.

I decided to give this out as gifts this year to some of my friends, but first wanted to make them to see how they tasted. Both my husband and I thought they were great. I only made 3 minor modifications to the recipe: 1) I used 5 eggs instead of 4 as the batter seemed a little dry to me without the 5th egg 2) I added 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 3) I add about a 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips into the batter in addition to the nuts. They had good chocolate flavor and were very moist. As far as giving as a gift, I had no problems layering or fitting the ingredients in the jar - you do need to firmly pack each layer before adding the next. Since not everyone likes nuts or may be allergic to them, I packed the nuts separately in a bag and then packed last in the jar. If using the jar method is too much trouble for you, then simply mixing and adding the ingredients into a plastic bag works great too. You can decorate the bag or enclose the bag in some type of other decorative container; just make sure the bag is tightly secured/closed. I've done this method lots of times with "in a jar" type gifts and there are tons of creative opportunities with this method without the hassle.

We solved the "not fitting in the jar problem" by mixing all our white ingredients together. Then we took roughly 1 1/2 cups of the combined white mix and added it to the coca. The result was more brown ingredients to layer with the white. Looks way better in the jar. We had to add a handful of chocolate chips to the walnuts & a wee piece of paper towel at the top because there was so much room! They look great! Added Chrismas material with an elastic band, Raffia overtop and a jingle bell.

Overall, a good brownie recipe. I skipped the packaging part to just make the brownies, and they turned out really well. A bit crumbly, but they were delicious!
