This is one of those shortcut recipes that you can’t miss! I can absolutely use a homemade brownie recipe but my kids wanted to put some brownies together and it’s just so much easier (sometimes) to pull out a boxed mix!
When decorating them, the kids (10 and 12 yo) needed very little help with melting the candy melts and sprinkles.
How To Make Valentines Day Brownies
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 box brownie mix (we used Duncan Hines)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 6 ounces of candy melt (Red/white/ or pink)
- 2 tablespoons Valentine’s sprinkles
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water.
- Line a 9×13 cake pan with parchment paper and pour the brownie batter inside.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool before removing them from the pan.
- Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut the sheet of brownies into hearts.
- Place the heart shaped brownies onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15-20 second bursts, stirring after each one until smooth.
- Drizzle over the brownies and then top with sprinkles while the candy melts are still wet (so they have something to stick to).
- Allow the candy melts to set before serving.
