How Long Will This Keep?

When stored in a cool, dry place, this brownie mix will keep for 1-2 weeks. For longer shelf life, you may want to separate the chocolate chips from the other dry ingredients in the jar. Also, be sure to store your brownie mix in an air-dry container to avoid moisture seeping in. Where there is moisture, mold can develop and ruin your mix. As long as keep it dry, this brownie mix in a jar can keep for as long as 1-2 months.
