Description

Delightful chocolate dipped brownie hearts perfect for parties and special occasions. These chewy fudge brownies are baked, cut into heart shapes, chilled, and then dipped in rich dark chocolate with an optional sprinkle of festive heart sprinkles to add a charming touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 2 boxes of Family Sized Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate wafers
  • Heart Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a Jelly Roll pan (approximately 15.5 x 10.5 inches) with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Brownie Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine both boxes of brownie mix with the water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir the mixture by hand until all lumps are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  5. Bake Brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared Jelly Roll pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Be careful not to overbake; the brownies should remain chewy.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the baked brownies to cool completely on a rack to prevent breakage during cutting.
  7. Cut Heart Shapes: Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut hearts from the cooled brownies, avoiding the edges to get clean shapes.
  8. Freeze Hearts: Place the cut brownie hearts in the freezer for 30 minutes. This helps the chocolate coating set quickly later.
  9. Melt Chocolate: While the brownies chill, melt the Ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Dip Brownie Hearts: Dip one side of each chilled brownie heart into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  11. Apply Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle heart sprinkles onto the chocolate-dipped side before the chocolate sets.
  12. Set on Rack: Place the dipped brownie hearts on a cooling rack to let any excess chocolate drip off and harden.
  13. Repeat Dipping and Sprinkling: Continue dipping the remaining hearts and applying sprinkles as desired.
  14. Store Properly: Store the finished brownie hearts in a sealed container until ready to serve or wrap individually for gifting.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the brownies to maintain their chewy texture.
  • Freezing the brownie hearts before dipping helps the chocolate coating set faster and prevents melting.
  • Use parchment paper and cooking spray to ensure easy removal of brownies from the pan.
  • Heart sprinkles are optional but add a festive decorative touch.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep brownies fresh and prevent chocolate from melting.
