How to Make Valentine's Brownie Petits Fours

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Grease only the bottom of the foil-lined pan.
  4. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix (according to box instructions or your favorite recipe), oil (as per brownie recipe), water (as per brownie recipe), and eggs (as per brownie recipe).
  5. Beat for 50 strokes with a wooden spoon.
  6. Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
  9. Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang.
  10. Place the unsliced brownies in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  11. Using a Valentine's heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut into heart shapes. Alternatively, use a knife to cut into 1 1/4-inch squares.
  12. Return brownie hearts/squares to the freezer while you prepare the icing.
  13. **For the Icing:** In a medium saucepan, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  14. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite canned frosting and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  15. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the icing reaches your desired consistency.
  16. Remove from heat.
  17. **To Coat:** Dip each brownie heart/square onto a fork and spoon icing over it, coating all sides except the bottom.
  18. Place the iced brownies on a small flat sheet lined with wax paper.
  19. Repeat with remaining brownies.
  20. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the icing to firm up.
  21. Drizzle the tops of the cold squares with red decorator icing, if desired.
