Brownie Lurv
Attention All Brownie Lovers: Get your brownie lurv here!
I think we all know how I feel about brownies and all things brownie. To refresh your memories, check it HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
Dadgum, that's a lot of brownie lurv!
I was feeling all Valentiney and wondering what might be a fun way to make my chocolate-lover gasp in appreciation.
First, I made a pan of brownies that were thin enough to cut with a cookie cutter.
This is a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to make it easy to pull the brownies out once baked.
Next, I cooked and cooled brownies.

Then I used my GIANT, 4-inches across, heart cookie cutter (on hindsight, I wished I had a smaller one) to cut out the brownie hearts:
I placed the brownie cut-outs on a clean pan lined with wax paper to cool completely.
What to do with the leftover brownie parts?
I chopped them up, placed them in a ziplock bag and froze them for when I need a cupcake mix-in (or just when I need to eat frozen brownie chunks!).
Lastly, I made a simple buttercream frosting, slapped it in a pastry bag and piped around the brownie. It looked like it needed sprinkles...more sprinkles!
As if all that wasn't enough, I thought while the brownie was fantastic enough topped with buttercream, what if I topped that with another brownie?! ~faint~
Boy said it looked like a Brownie Whoopie Pie! If that doesn't say I love you, I don't know what does.
What I used:
* 1 package brownie mix (brownie mix I use: Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate mix.)
* buttercream frosting (you could use a can or premix if you're channeling Sandra Lee)
* sprinkles
So simple and easy.
Husband was thrilled with his early Valentiney gift. I know this because he barely spoke while eating it.
Now you go thrill someone...and maybe get a thrill in return! Or at least a bite. Oh, my...
Happy Baking!
Aww I love them! You are a better woman than I....I for sure would have just eaten the left overs haha! That's such a good idea though, to freeze them for when you want a little treat! Look at you...teaching me things:)
LOL! Husband saw them in the freezer and was also shocked I hadn't eaten them!
I've got a cheesecake recipe that would use up those brownie chunks. 🙂 Those brownie whoopie pies look awesome!
See?! Make the whoopie pie = get mix-ins for cheesecake. Perfect!
First off, those look amazing. Secondly, the frozen chunks of brownie saved for later? BRILLIANT.
Seriously, so easy to make...plus, FROZEN BROWNIE CHUNKS!
Those looks delicious. You made me so hungry now 😛

The frozen bits are calling me from the freezer...

It was either freeze them, or throw them down my piehole!
So so cute and tasty looking. This would definitely be a great gift for me to make for myself, haha!!
