Typically I don’t bake in the jars, I just serve in them, but with this recipe, I bake the brownies in the jar but I insure they are almost submerged in a water bath to protect the jars. If you are uncomfortable with this, you can bake the brownie in a brownie pan. Once they are cooled, you can dice them up and put chunks of brownie in the jars. It’s just as yummy and just as cute.
