These Valentine’s Day brownies are perfect for classroom parties, family dessert nights, or gifting to friends and neighbors. You can easily customize the colors and sprinkles to match Valentine’s Day, or even switch things up for other holidays throughout the year. The possibilities are endless, and that’s part of what makes this recipe such a favorite in our house.
This is one of those shortcut recipes that you can’t miss! I can absolutely use a homemade brownie recipe but my kids wanted to put some brownies together and it’s just so much easier (sometimes) to pull out a boxed mix!
When decorating them, the kids (10 and 12 yo) needed very little help with melting the candy melts and sprinkles.
How To Make Valentines Day Brownies
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 box brownie mix (we used Duncan Hines)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 6 ounces of candy melt (Red/white/ or pink)
- 2 tablespoons Valentine’s sprinkles
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water.
- Line a 9×13 cake pan with parchment paper and pour the brownie batter inside.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool before removing them from the pan.
- Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut the sheet of brownies into hearts.
- Place the heart shaped brownies onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15-20 second bursts, stirring after each one until smooth.
- Drizzle over the brownies and then top with sprinkles while the candy melts are still wet (so they have something to stick to).
- Allow the candy melts to set before serving.
