Valentine’s Cards are Nice…But Valentine’s Brownies are Nicer!

I love you brownies

i heart brownies

My husband doesn’t eat sweets.  I know.  Ridiculous.  But, on occasion, he will eat a brownie.  So for Valentine’s Day, I made him an “I love you” brownie.  The leftovers were packaged up and sent off to friends.

I added some pink frosting trim to make them look more “Valentine’s-ish”.

I laid each one on a small square of cardstock, trimmed with pinking shears.  A little dot of frosting holds it in place.

Slide the brownie into a clear, cellophane treat bag.  I like to roll down the top and close with a staple or piece of tape.

I added a topper made of some elementary school writing paper folded over the top of the bag.  I printed out an I heart Brownies label on my computer and they were finished!  Not including baking time, the whole project only took a little over an  hour and I was in a hurry. (You can see the sleeve of my coat in this last picture-I was heading out the door as I finished up!)  If I could do it over again, I would let the frosting set up a little more before packaging.  You can see how smooshed the pink dots are in my final photo.  They still looked cute and tasted devine, but I prefer non-smooshed treats when it comes to gifts from the kitchen!  Sorry if you got a smooshed one-I hope you liked it anyway!

Valentine’s cards are nice, but Valentine’s Brownies are nicer!
