Cupids Heart Shaped Brownies Recipes

BROWNIE HEARTS AND BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; cut a piece of waxed paper to fit the bottom, and press it onto the buttered surface. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and chocolate. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. If the chocolate is not softened, continue to microwave at 10-second intervals, removing before it's completely melted.
• Beat eggs and vanilla into the melted chocolate with a wooden spoon. Beat in flour and salt. Pour batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Turn the brownie cake out onto a baking sheet, and flip over onto a work surface. Cut out the brownies with a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Dust with cocoa if you like. Form the scraps into 1-inch balls, and roll them in the coating of your choice.

Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar; mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and nuts; spread into prepared pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool completely.

BROWNIE CHEESECAKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Butter the heart-shaped molds.
• Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and 1 egg together in a bowl until smooth and well mixed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared heart molds.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat in 1 egg until smooth.
• Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each heart mold and mix slightly with a knife to make decorative swirls of cream cheese filling in the brownie batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• While brownies are baking, place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chocolate is warm, smooth, and melted.
• Stir heavy cream into the chocolate. Mixture will be clumpy.
• Remove hearts from oven, and immediately spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate mixture over each heart.
• Return the hearts to the oven and bake until the chocolate topping spreads out, about 5 minutes. Cool before serving.
