Ingredients
2 boxes Family Size Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix
6 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers (or chocolate bark)
Heart sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a jelly roll pan (15.5 x 10.5 inches) by spraying it with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine both boxes of brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs. Stir by hand until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes, avoiding the edges for best texture.
- Place the brownie hearts on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- While they chill, melt the dark chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Remove brownie hearts from the freezer. Dip one side of each heart into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place dipped hearts on a wire rack or parchment-lined tray. Immediately add heart sprinkles before chocolate sets.
- Continue dipping and decorating the remaining hearts.
- Let the chocolate fully set before storing or wrapping.
Notes
Use a smaller cookie cutter for more servings and richer bites.
Freeze brownie hearts before dipping to help the chocolate set quickly and cleanly.
Ghirardelli wafers melt smoothly, but chocolate bark works as a budget-friendly alternative.
Don’t toss the scraps! Turn them into brownie truffles or parfaits.
