- 1 box of brownie mix (and ingredients listed on box to make them) for a 8"x8" pan of brownies
- non-stick cooking spray
- (4) 8 ounce heat proof jars with straight sides
Place the jars inside a 5 - 6 quart crock pot. Make sure that none of the jars are touching each other or the sides of the crock pot. This will help them to cook evenly.
Put the lid on top of the crock pot and turn the crock pot to high. Cook for 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours. Mine were ready at exactly 2 hours and 55 minutes. You are looking for the brownies to start to pull away from the sides of the jar. The center will still be a little gooey and a wooden skewer or toothpick will NOT come out clean at this point. That's okay though. When you remove the lid and turn the heat off there will be some residual heat that will continue to cook the brownies. Trust me on this one, you don't want overcooked or burnt brownies.
When the jars have cooled enough to handle them remove them from the crock pot and place them on a folded dish towel or cookie sheet to finish cooling. Make sure they are not in a drafty area and no fans or air conditioning are blowing on them. That could cause the jars to break... EEEEK! We don't want that to happen.
When the jars were completely cool enough to handle and the brownies were still a little warm, we served ours up as brownie sundaes.
