WISC-TV reporter Marc Lovicott shared this recipe from his grandmother, Millie Herring. She layers the dry ingredients in a quart jar and gives it away for presents to her family and friends. What a treat to have all the homemade brownies just by adding butter and eggs!

Brownie Mix:

1-1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2-1/4 cups sugar 2/3 cup cocoa powder 1 cup chopped walnuts

Additional ingredients:

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 4 eggs

In a quart jar, layer the dry ingredients of the brownie mix. Cover jar and set aside.
