Valentine Brownies

This week, I am sharing the special Valentine's Day treat that I made for my family.


Aren't these cute little heart brownies? They couldn't be easier!


I love how Semi-Homemade these are. Here are my tools:


I just made brownies right out of a box. I cut them with bread tube (but you can use any heart-shaped cutter you have at home). Then, I used the cake stencils and powder sugar in a shaker to make the designs on top. Here is a closer look:

    I am so stealing this idea. The kids and I were allready planning on making brownies for Dave while he is at work on Saturday and since I have a heart cookie cutter it will make them that much more special. Thanks for the great idea.

    Susie - You commented that you would like to learn more about local foods. I posted just this last week about finding a CSA along with other sources for local food.
