If you read my last post, you already know that my daughter and I made homemade healthy gummies yesterday. Well, while they were setting up in the regrigerator we decided to have some more baking fun in the kitchen. I found a box of brownie mix and some Wilton melting candy in the pantry, so we made another Valentine's Day inspired treat: Heart Shaped Brownies.

  1. Delicious. I am a huge fan of making sweet little holiday themed desserts like these! I will definitely have to make these heart shaped brownies for our Valentine's Playdate!

  2. What a great idea! I think I would also cut the other pieces out, too, and serve those with it so they aren't wasted. Then again, who wastes brownie, no matter what it looks like?! I love the addition of the melted red candy. It's such a simple addition but adds so much color to the dessert.

  3. Oh, these look so simple to make! Definitely the kind of dessert that I like to make on a wintery cold Sunday! Thank you for sharing!
