I love gifting my friends with fun treats on Valentine's Day. Just some small token of appreciation, wrapped up in cute paper with a thoughtful note. Last year I must admit that I was a little overwhelmed with the blog launch + Super Bowl Party + Valentine's Day. So in an effort to save time, I ended up buying pre-made chocolate covered heart brownies for my friends for Valentine's Day . While they were certainly delicious, they were really expensive and way more than I should be spending on little Valentine's treats.
In an effort to be a little more financially prudent this year, I have decided to make my own heart-shaped brownie bites. These bites are delicious, easy to make, economical and so flipping cute! Definitely a unique and delicious treat that almost any Valentine would love to receive.
