Conversation hearts are a staple treat of Valentine’s Day. They are fun, festive, and colorful which is awesome! Unfortunately, I’m just not a fan of the taste. It isn’t my cup of tea. Brownies on the other hand are always welcome and I have a feeling I’m not alone.

If you feel the same way, there is no reason you should miss out on the candy fun this Valentine’s Day! These brownie conversation hearts are the perfect marriage of colorful and delicious!

Ingredients

1 Box of Brownie Mix (and the ingredients listed on the box to make it)
Multiple Colors of Wilton Candy Melts (or White Almond Bark and Food Coloring)
Wilton Food Markers

Tools

Step 1

First, prepare your brownie mix according to package directions. (Be sure to use your 9×13 pan and bake accordingly.)

Tip:

Make is easier on yourself and line your pan with parchment paper. This will make the brownies come out of the pan easier later.

Step 2

Next, allow your brownies to cool and then place entire pan in the freezer for about 2 hours.

Step 3

Once your brownies are frozen, remove the pan from the freezer and take the entire sheet of brownies whole.

Note:

This is where the parchment paper comes in handy. If you don’t have any, you can use a spatula to gently separate the brownies from the pan starting on the edges and working your way around the pan. (If you go the spatula route, it might take a while.)

Step 4

Place the whole sheet of brownies on a protected surface. (I used a Thomas kid’s place mat so feel free to get creative.) Cut out small hearts with your cookie cutter and place on a plate or tray (you can use the same glass pan you baked them in to save you some dishes).

Step 5

Place your pan of hearts back into the freezer. Start melting your candy melts.

Tips:

If you don’t have a double boiler, use a pot filled with ½ – 1” of water with a mixing bowl on top. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat.

If you candy is a little thick, add some shortening to it to give it a smoother consistency.

Step 6

Remove brownies from the freezer and dip in the melts to coat.

Tips:

To get the most effective coverage, use a fork to dip them then use a rubber spatula to pour the candy over the top.
These will be easier to remove later if your cool them on a silicone mat or wax paper after dipping.

You may need to re-freeze the brownies if they begin falling apart or crumbling in the melted candy. If you see small crumbs getting into the candy melts, put your brownies back in the freezer for a little while to firm them back up.

Step 7

Allow candy to cool and harden.

Step 8

Once the candy is completely cooled, write your conversation heart saying on your brownies using your food markers.

These brownie conversation hearts are perfect for your Valentine’s Day party this year. They are also a delicious way to show your husband some love. Box up a few of these delectable little treats with cute sayings like “U R HOT” and “QT PIE” and tie a ribbon around them for an easy present that he will love! Either way that you use them, they will brighten up your celebration and provide you with a pretty and tasty treat to splurge on.

Spaghetti is a staple in this house. It’s one of the few dinners that everyone can agree on which is a rarity with 3 kids. I also love that I can totally sneak vegetables in it (as long as they are pureed).

This delicious spaghetti sauce recipe is my go-to to save money and appease the little ones. If there are any leftovers, it also makes a great pizza sauce. (We must like light sauce on our noodles because there is always leftovers.) That’s great for busy moms like us, though, because it means 2 dinners from one.
