Chocolate Brownies Topped With Reese’s Hearts

How about whipping up a simple batch of brownies for your valentine? There is still time! This recipe comes together in just a few minutes and is so much better than a box mix. Want them to really fall in love? Add the Cupid touch by drizzling some melted chocolate over the tops and attaching a Reese’s peanut butter heart. It’s sure to seal the deal and send Cupid’s arrow right though his/her heart!!! :heart:  These brownies are just perfect on their own too, if you prefer to keep it simple. Or add a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a more elegant look. So head over to the cabinet and get baking. I am willing to bet you have most of these ingredients on hand. That means in about an hour (including a little cooling time)-YOU can be munching on some brownies. The joy of brownies is that you can sneak one and no one will even know. How would I know that? Hmmmm, I’ll never tell!!! xoxo
