My daughter and I made my fudge brownie recipe into hearts for my niece (Erin's cousin and roomie ) and her fiance's Engagement Party that we hosted in August. We had such a good time planning and preparing for the party, I was sad when it was over! Read more ! Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
3/4 cup cocoa (if you can find hershey’s european processed cocoa, buy it!) |
21/4 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs |
11/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in medium saucepan; stir in cocoa until smooth.
2. Remove pan from heat; add sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs – beat well.
3. Add flour and baking powder; mix together well.
4. Spread into greased 9x13 baking dish.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
6. These do not need frosting – just sprinkle top of brownies with powdered sugar.
7. Cool and cut into bars. Very fudgey!
8. NOTE: for the Engagement Party, we cut the brownies with a heart shaped cookie cutter, after dusting them with powdered sugar - very cute presentation (Erin's idea - I must give her credit!).
