Sand Art Brownies
This is a recipe for brownies to give as a Christmas gift . . . . or whenever. Mix ingredients in a wide mouth quart size jar, just like sand art that kids make today.
Add to wide mouth quart jar in this order:
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 + 1/8 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Chips
- 1/2 cup nuts
This should pack nicely into jar. Include a decorative tag with instructions for making the brownies:
Combine contents of jar with:
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
Pour into a greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 27-32 minutes
Spiced Tea
This mix makes a great gift for neighbors, the elderly, school teachers, etc.
- 2 26 oz. Tang
- 1 3 oz. bottle Instant Tea Unsweetened
- 2 8 1/2 oz Red hots
- 1 6 oz. Pkg. Lemonade (Wylers)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tsp. nutmeg
- 2 tsp. ground cloves
- 2 tsp. allspice
Mix all ingredients together well. Put in a sealed container until ready to assemble the gift.
To make individual gift packets: you can put into a small plastic bag, then insert into a small muslin bag, tie with a pretty piece of Christmas fabric. With each gift make sure you add a note that states: One tablespoon + one teaspoon per cup of hot water. I also look for pretty cups and saucers, at garage sales, flea markets, etc. and then you can package with the ingredients.
Hot Chocolate Mix
This mix makes a great gift for neighbors, the elderly, school teachers, etc.
- 3 cups powdered Sugar
- 8 oz. nonfat dry milk
- 1 16 oz. Instant Chocolate Milk (I use Nestle's)
- 1 6 oz Creamora (or any nondairy creamer)
Mix ingredients well and store in air tight container until you're ready to make the individual gift packages.
With each gift add a tag that says: 3 tablespoons per cup of hot water.
This is wonderful hot chocolate, we get raves from it every year from grandchildren. They seem to think this is the Best!
Gourmet Vanilla Sugar
For those who like a little gourmet, but can't afford it, place a dry clean vanilla bean in a mason jar. Cover with sugar. In a few weeks, the sugar will be flavored vanilla.
Note* the bean can be used for years be sure the receiver of this gift understands all they need to do is refill the sugar and shake occasionally for a few weeks.
