These Candy Covered Heart Shaped Brownies are just a little treat we made recently with the kids that I thought I’d share in case anyone wants to order a pan and make some, too! It’s a fun way to spruce up your Valentine’s Day festivities!
I pretty much used the recipe for our favorite Andes Mint Cookies, using red peppermint chocolates instead of the green wafers. They just seemed more brownie-like because they were thicker, so our cookie became a brownie even though we used the same recipe. I’m surely not a dessert blogger. We’re using a cake mix any way, so it’s really up to the person eating to decide what kind of treat it is….cookie…brownie…cake.
Because the pan is already heart shaped, I just smushed in the batter into the heart, and it baked quite nicely. I maybe could have put a little less in, because it overflowed. I knew it would, thought I went low enough.
I added M&M’s for an extra CRUNCH!
After cooking them, I let them cool in the pan. I knew they would be smoother on the bottom side, so I popped them out, and flipped them upside down. Then added the peppermint chips.
I put them in the oven to warm for 3-5 minutes, then they were melted enough to spread.
They were just too pretty to stop photographing
Here is the actual recipe:
- 1 box devils food cake mix
- 1 cup chocolate M&M's
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 bag peppermint chips

- press dough into heart shaped pan
- Cook 7-9 minutes
- Let brownies cool
- Flip upside down so smooth side is up
- Sprinkle peppermint chips on top
- Place on cookie sheet in the oven on warm for 5 minutes
- Once melted, spread onto hearts, then cool
Enjoy a fun and easy treat with the family!
