Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (or as needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for extra richness)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the package using eggs, oil, and water.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan or a heart-shaped baking pan. Bake according to the time suggested on the brownie mix box, typically around 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
- Cool the Brownies: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before removing them. If using a standard 9×9-inch pan, cut the cooled brownies into heart shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if you prefer a thinner glaze.
- Glaze the Brownie Hearts: Drizzle or spoon the glaze over the brownie hearts, allowing it to flow down the edges for a pretty, glossy finish.
- Decorate (Optional): Top with sprinkles, edible glitter, or small candies for extra flair.
- Serve: Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet Valentine’s treat!
Notes
- If you prefer, you can make the brownies from scratch using your favorite recipe rather than using a box mix.
- These brownies are great for customizing! You can add chocolate chips or swirl in some raspberry jam before baking for a different twist.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
