Directions: How to Make Heart-Shaped Brownie Bites – Valentine’s Day Desserts in Pajamas

1. Prep Time & Setup (Prep Time: 10 min)

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini heart-shaped silicone baking mold or a lightly greased 8x8-inch pan (if using cookie cutters).

2. Make the Brownie Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until glossy and combined.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Gently sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined—do not overmix!
  • Fold in chocolate chips, if using.

3. Fill the Molds and Bake (Bake Time: 20-24 min)

  • Spoon batter into each cavity of your heart-shaped mold, filling about ⅔ full.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the tops look set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let brownie bites cool in the mold for at least 10 minutes, then gently pop out.
  • If using a pan, let brownies cool completely, then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to create bites.

4. Decorate & Serve

  • Drizzle with melted white chocolate, top with sprinkles, or tuck a fresh berry on each bite for extra flair.

Total Time: 35-40 minutes

Notes For Heart-Shaped Brownie Bites – Valentine’s Day Desserts in Pajamas

  • For a chewier texture, bake on the lower end of the time range. For cakier bites, add an extra minute or two.
  • Silicone molds make removal a breeze, but you can also use a regular pan and cookie cutters (learn more about using silicone pans).
  • Try using high-quality Dutch-process cocoa for a deeper chocolate flavor (see this guide to cocoa types).
