Rocky Road Brownie Mix

Well, here it is friends. My last advent post; the bookend to my first advent post. If you need that last, last, last minute gift, then this little jar mix may save your bacon.

If you’re a seasoned baker, then you’ll likely have all the ingredients in your pantry (or be able to substitute walnuts for hazelnuts), but if you’re not – don’t fret. Most grocery stores are still open on Christmas Eve, and will likely have everything you need for this gift right down to the quart jar. Just check the canning supplies aisle.

Heavens, are these brownies ever fudgy! I can’t get over how chewy and moist they are. The mini marshmallows make the inside super gooey, and the mallows exposed on top toast in the oven and create a crisp crust.

There are so many sweets and cookie platters that surround the holiday season, and that’s why I love giving baking mixes. They last a long time on the pantry shelf, and after the Christmas cookie platters and fudge tins are gone, there will be scratch-made brownies within reach.

Add 3 eggs and 11 tablespoons melted butter; mix well. Pour in prepared pan. Bake for 38-45 minutes.
