Valentine’s Cards are Nice…But Valentine’s Brownies are Nicer!
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
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!
