Easy heart shape chocolate brownies. Do you love chocolate? How about dark chocolate? If you do these are for you and your sweetheart. Okay, can these get any better? Yes, they can, these are extra fudgy too!
Valentines day, can be simple and easy. Normally, I bake from scratch. However, for these decadent dark chocolate brownies, I made Duncan Hines dark chocolate extra fudgy brownies. Yes, decadent dessert from a box.
I made this the easy way because everything doesn’t always have to made from scratch. What matters is we take the time to make something for the people we love.
Besides, I took the extra time to make these extra special, using a heart shape cookie cutter.
Instead of using my usual brownie pan I added the batter to a 9 x 13 pan. Instead of parchment paper I greased the bottom only of the pan to be sure the brownies would come out easily.
After cooling turn the pan over tom release the brownies and cut out the heart shape. Because brownies have a rough top, I cut these on the underside. This keeps them neater.

Make These Extra Cakes Pretty with Dishes and Simple Decorating for Your Loved Ones
How did I make these chocolate brownies extra special?
To make these heart shape dark chocolate confections even more special using a cake stencil I added confectioner’s sugar. By the way, this takes literally seconds to do and makes these extra special and might I add fancy.
How easy is this to accomplish? Simply add confectioner sugar to a small fine mesh metal strainer.
Next, lay the stencil down nd lightly tap the side of the strainer. A light coat of sugar will add the pretty cutout of the cake stencil to the dark chocolate yummy fudgy brownies.
Since we truly eat with our eyes doesn’t this cake look absolutely charming? It’s all in the details nd making this heart shape dessert takes little time but makes your sweetheart feel extra special, doesn’t it?
Now, when serving this dessert how about taking out a pretty cake pedestal and adding a pretty dish to hold these pretty desserts? Using pretty dishes always makes any meal or dessert radiant in my opinion.
These dishes from Noritake discontinued however, I did find these, and they are beautiful! Honestly because I adore dessert dishes, I may have to grab myself a set. These will be gorgeous for spring and summer for entertaining.
Adding a Bouquet of Flowers Adds a Bit More Romance to This Special Dessert
Also, adding a simple bouquet of pink carnations to a pitcher makes this dessert extra special. It’s a fun idea to sprinkle heart shaped candy on the table too. Incidentally, carnations are my favorite flower from the market especially pink!
