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 better
  • 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. With the parchment paper still underneath, push cookie cutters into the baked brownies. Use kitchen shears – if needed. You can cut around the outline you’ve made with the cookie-cutter impression. Set aside scraps for snacking.

  • Yield: 1 dozen 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of fudge brownie mix
  • plus ingredients to on the back of the box
  • Parchment Paper
  • Heart cookie cutters – I  used a 3-inch cookie cutter
  • Pink Frosting – I used Strawberries and Cream  by Duncan Hines
  • Valentine Sprinkles
  • Frosting in a squeeze tube
  • Optional paper straws

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line your dish with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl combine your brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs – as directed on the box. Stir until well blended
  4. Spread into your prepared 9×13 pan – lined with parchment paper
  5. Bake using instructions on the box
  6. 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.
  7. Let them cool completely. At least 30 minutes – If you don’t they may be too soft, and fall apart.
  8. When brownies have cooled – pull brownies out of the pan and with the paper still underneath place them on work surface
  9. Use the cookie cutter to cut about 12 brownies. The scraps are for you, and the rest of the crew!
  10. Frost brownies and decorate with your sprinkles, frosting, and/or candy
  11. Optional – insert paper straws into hearts
