• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Spoon this mixture into the bottom of a quarter size (32 ounces) mason jar. Gently tap the jar against the counter to make the top of the mixture as level and possible.
• Layer the brown sugar on top into an even layer. Be careful when adding it to make smooth lines on the edges of the jar.
• Follow the same process with the granulated sugar.
• Then top with the M&Ms and chocolate chips.  Make sure to fill the jar to the very top to ensure that the ingredients are packed tightly to prevent the ingredients from shifting when gifting them.
• Place the lid on the mason jar tightly. Print off a printable label (I prefer on yardstick) and attach the label to the jar with ribbon or baker’s twine.
• Then the jar is ready to give as a gift!
