Heart-Shaped Valentine’s Day Brownies Using Ghirardelli Brownie Mix
These heart-shaped brownies, made with a box of Ghirardelli brownie mix, are a fun and easy Valentine’s Day treat, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with festive sprinkles.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 box Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme brownie box mix
- 1/4 c water
- 1/3 c vegetable oil
- 1 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
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 325°F
Brownies
- 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
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze
- Evenly spread the brownie batter over the parchment paper using a rubber spatula
- 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
- Remove from oven and let cool
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the brownies into heart shapes
- 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
- Sprinkle each brownie with red, white, and pink Valentine's Day-themed sprinkles
Storage
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days
