Ingredients

Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme boxed brownie mix
water
egg – for optimal mixing, use eggs at room temperature. If you’re short on time, place cold eggs in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to bring them up to temperature quickly.
vegetable oil
chocolate syrup fudge – included in the Ghirardelli chocolate supreme boxed mix
red, white and pink sprinkles – I used these Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles

Tools

large mixing bowl
measuring cups
cookie sheet
rubber spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, water, and vegetable oil, whisking until smooth. Do not include the chocolate syrup packet at this time
STEP 2: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze
STEP 3: Pour batter onto the parchment paper and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread it across the surface
STEP 4: Bake at 325°F for 20-25 minutes. For fudgier brownies, remove them at the 20-minute mark; for a firmer texture, bake closer to 25 minutes. Let them cool completely to room temperature before cutting to get clean, even heart shapes

STEP 4: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the brownies into heart shapes
STEP 5: Snip a small corner off the chocolate syrup packet and drizzle the syrup over each heart-shaped brownie, either in a decorative pattern or generously covering them for an extra dose of chocolaty goodness
STEP 6: Sprinkle each brownie with red, white, and pink Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles
