Heart-Shaped Brownies

Valentine’s Day Treats are a welcome reprieve from our long mid-west winters. These colorful treats like Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice, Love Potion Floats, and Cupid Cupcakes

You can create any personalized message you want with frosting and candies. Turn these heart-shaped brownies into brownie pops or leave them as-is for a fun treat.

Tips and Tricks for Making Heart-Shaped Brownie Pops…

Use a straw instead of a lollipop stick. It is a little wider and will hold the brownie batter
Make sure the brownie has completely cooled before inserting the straw. If it is still warm, it may crack.
Add a little frosting to the tip of the straw before inserting it and at the point where the brownie and straw come together – for added support.

What Makes Brownies Fudgy?

A fudgy brownie has more fat content, like butter, and fewer eggs than a cake brownie. To make a cake-like brownie, add an extra egg to the batter.

making heart-shaped brownies from cookie cutters

After brownies have cooled completely, lift them out of the baking dish. Push cookie cutters into the baked brownies with the parchment paper still underneath. Use kitchen shears – if needed. You can cut around the outline you’ve made with the cookie-cutter impression. Set aside scraps for snacking.

Equipment

Ingredients

18 oz. fudge brownie mix plus ingredients needed from the box instructions like eggs, water, and oil

Bake using instructions on the box
Now, lift the brownies out of the pan with parchment paper still under them. Just grab the edges of the paper, and transfer brownies to a wire rack to cool.
Let them cool completely. At least 30 minutes – If you don’t they may be too soft, and fall apart.
When brownies have cooled – pull brownies out of the pan and with the paper still underneath place them on work surface
Use the cookie cutter to cut about 12 brownies. The scraps are for you, and the rest of the crew!
Frost brownies and decorate with your sprinkles, frosting, and/or candy
