Easy Valentine’s Day Brownies

These Valentine’s Day brownies may begins with a basic boxed brownie mix, but the layers of pink frosting and chocolate ganache make them over-the-top delicious and perfect for your sweetheart.

As you probably know, I am a big fan of semi-homemade recipes. I love saving time by taking a basic cake mix, or in this case a brownie mix, and jazzing it up to be something that my family and friends will think I slaved over in the kitchen for hours.

I do love baking from scratch, but time doesn’t always permit, and quite honestly these semi-homemade goodies are always just as well received.

Ingredients:

• Your favorite brownie mix, prepared according to package directions
• powdered sugar
• butter
• vanilla or almond extract
• milk
• red food coloring
• semi-sweet chocolate pieces
• heavy cream

These are two of my favorite sprinkle mixes for Valentine’s Day found on Amazon: Valentine Nonpareils Mix by Wilton and Sweets Indeed Sprinklefetti.

Step 3: Using an offset spatula, spread frosting over the cooled brownies.

Step 4: For the chocolate glaze, in a small saucepan over low heat, warm chocolate and cream until smooth, stirring continuously. Once the chocolate glaze is smooth, pour over frosted brownies. Quickly spread and smooth with an offset spatula.

Step 5: Sprinkle generously with Valentine’s Day sprinkles.
