how to dress up brownies & valentine’s day

so i made brownies the other day and then had the idea of cutting out hearts. out of the brownies, of course {haha} … i thought it was a really cute idea, specially with valentine’s around the corner.

brownies are so versatile. you can dress them up with frosting or sprinkles, add walnuts, or just flat out plain. there’s no wrong way, and they are delicious in any way.

here’s a tutorial for you to see how to make brownie hearts! You can surprise your significant other and even kids with this cute idea on valentine’s day.

you can even make these heart shaped brownies for a birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower or a kid’s party!

materials/ingredients:

brownies, cooled {overnight if you can}
white chocolate, melted
piping/pastry bag
different color nonpareil sprinkles
circle cookie cutters {small & large}
pen
paper
scissors
sharp knife

directions:

draw your hearts on paper and then cut in different sizes.

i chose three different size harts.

set heart on top of brownie and proceed to cut with sharp knife following the shape of the heart.

and here’s the first heart! continue to cut as many hearts as you’d like.

here’s another heart in a different size.

cut circles with a cookie cutter. i did one large {shown below} and a small one.

when chocolate is melted, carefully add to a pastry bag or even a ziploc bag {cut a small hole in one of the corners to pipe chocolate onto the brownies}. wrap bag with a towel and start decorating the brownies right away. i did a zig zag pattern here. it’s okay if it’s not perfect. the sprinkles will cover those imperfections and make your brownie hearts pretty ;)
