Red Wine Brownies in a Jar

December 4, 2019 By Sweetphi 13 Comments

You’re going to fall in love with these decadent and delicious red wine brownies in a jar. They’re perfect for giving as a food gift or making for yourself. Gift a bottle of red wine with the brownie mix in a jar and then the lucky recipient can use a splash of wine in the brownies, and enjoy the rest of the bottle. Chocolate and wine – talk about a good gift!

Red wine brownies in a jar, a perfect food gift

When talking about favorite food pairings, chocolate and wine is definitely one of my favorite combinations.  I mean, I also love peanut butter and jelly, cheese and crackers, bacon and eggs (and I could go on and on) but when it comes to treating myself, chocolate and wine is where it’s at!

Around the holidays, I’m all about decadence and these brownies fit the bill.  They are rich and ooey gooey chocolatey and super moist.  The chocolate chips melt into the batter and there’s a hint of red wine which really amplifies the chocolate flavor, making the brownie the best brownie you’ve had in a long time!

One of my favorite things to give as gifts is something that is functional, but also fun.  For that reason, I think food gifts are the best!  I’ve shared a few recipes, previously, that work great as food gifts.

  • Sea Salt Turtle Cups
  • Chocolate Turtle Chex Mix
  • Peppermint Fudge
  • Bananas Foster Party Chex Mix

As I was shopping at Pick ‘n Save I had the holidays on my mind and came across their wine section. Pick ‘n Save has a really extensive wine section with wines at very affordable prices (my kind of place – you know how much I love Pick ‘n Save from my previous posts of pressure cooker chicken spaghetti casserole, one pot sausage and rice casserole, cranberry walnut crumb bars and Thanksgiving turkey.) I came across Magistrate wines, they’re rich and bold and perfect for pairing with chocolate and making these red wine brownies. You want to use a Cabernet or Pinot Noir for these brownies.

When you start to make these red wine brownies in a jar, there are a few tips I’d love to share:

  1. To help get the brownie batter mixture into the jar, make a funnel out of paper and pour it right in. You can either mix the dry ingredients together or layer them. I would suggest mixing all the ingredients, makes it so much easier.
  2. Add a label with baking instructions to the jar.  To make it even easier, I’ve created a label (front and back) for you to download!
  3. Have a bottle of wine that’s been sitting around on the counter?  This recipe is perfect for using up that last little bit so it doesn’t go to waste.  OR, if you use a new bottle, you get to enjoy the rest with your yummy brownie!

When these red wine brownies are cooking, the smell is amazing!  The smell of cocoa will waft throughout the house – what better thing at the holidays!?  So, whether you’re giving these red wine brownies in a jar as a gift or making them for yourself, you’re going to fall in love with this recipe!

Yield: 1 jar - 1 tray of 16 brownies

    My favorite dessert during the holidays is frosted sugar cookies. I don’t make many holiday desserts at my house, (lack of willpower). Your brownie recipe does look delicious and I will be putting on my Pinterest Board to try soon. Thank you!!

    What a great gift idea!
    My favorite holiday dessert was always my MIL’s homemade cookies and candies. She made everything! And made it well. Alas, she passed away in June, so I will never have those decadent treats again.

    Every year my Mother would make our favorite dessert for our birthdays. Each year I chose chocolate eclairs made from scratch with real custard filling. Only later as an adult did I realize how much work went into each eclair and what an outrageous request that was to make during the crazy busy Xmas holiday season! Chocolate eclairs are still my #1 favorite!
