This recipe makes one batch of brownie mix but it can be easily multiplied to make several gift mixes at one time. I will warn you, there was one item I needed to make it easier to prepare this recipe, a larger steel mesh strainer. The strainers I have are both small and heart shaped, not adequate for this job, especially if you are multiplying your batch size. The three pack I linked to above will meet your kitchen needs just fine.

This mix fits perfectly in a pint sized mason jar.
