Hi friends, I'm Paula, but my friends call me PMc. This is my sweet family. They keep me busy.
They make me laugh. They drive me crazy at times! I share it all with you at Call Me PMc
where I blog about easy to prepare recipes and menus for busy families, time management
and exercise tips, with a little crafts and DIY projects.
I would love for you to come visit.

First a few things about these Sand Art Brownies:
1.These are the best brownies you've ever eaten!
2. You don't have to fancy the packaging up like this. At Christmas I keep a few on hand for unexpected guests. But you can just use the recipe without making this presentation.
3. You can make them as treats any time of year, just omit the red and green sugar.
4. They make great house-warming gifts or just little treats!
5. They're easy to make.
6. If you're not a cook, you don't have to cook anything. Just package it and give away!
First, add chocolate chips then sugar.
Next, add brown sugar and pack down with a wooden spoon,

Add more sugar and the green food coloring,
cocoa, a pinch each of cinnamon and instant coffee.
Finish by filling to the top with all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder.
Add bow and instructions to jar. You're finished.
It's an easy and quick gift.
