Brownie Hearts

I made this for Rommel for Valentine's Day, and he loved it. They're super easy but look like it took you forever. I got the recipe from my mom, but I'm not sure if she made it up or got it out of a book or magazine.

Ingredients:

Brownie mix (prepared)

1 cup melted chocolate chips

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sprinkles

First you make bake the brownie mix, first putting aluminum foil in the pan and spraying it with Pam. I used the "Candy Shop" brownies with peanut butter cups because those are Rommel's favorite, however, they were only for an 8x8 pan, so I could only make four hearts. If you use regular brownies in a 13x9 pan, you can probably get more.

Then you bake it as normal and let it cool for at least half an hour. Flip the pan over onto a wax paper surface, and let the brownies fall out. Then peel the aluminum foil off the top of them.

Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shaped pieces. For me, the brownies were thicker than my cookie cutter, so I made the outline with the cookie cutter and cut it out with a knife.

Remove each heart to a plate or serving platter. Combine the oil and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring for five seconds inbetween each, until melted. Spoon melted chocolate chips into a ziplock bag, and cut one corner. Drizzle chocolate over the hearts in a criss-cross fashion. Cover with sprinkles.
