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.
How do you make heart-shaped brownies with a cookie cutter?
- 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.
