Note: I found a ton of wide mouth quart canning jars in my hobby shop during my clean out for our garage sale. My intention was to let the boys do these cute sand art brownies before Christmas, but we just never squeezed it in. These are so pretty in the jar and really delicious when you make them. And who says you can't give New Year's gifts to friends?

Ok so this wasn't quite what I was thinking of when I first read this recipe, but I love these types of gifts. I keep saying that this is what I'm going to make one year... and every year I only talk about doing it :) Good for you!
I agree with Michelle each year I say I'm going to tempt to make them. But I've bookmarked it and will try :)
They sound like a cute idea.
Great idea. Thanks for linking up. Your gift from last week is in the mail. :)
