Kid friendly valentines day party recipe:)
Valentines Day is always awesome;) I have always had a special love for chocolate so, that is really why I think Valentines Day is so great I’m sure!
I also love finding a really great “vintage” recipe. This brownie recipe shocked me a little with all the butter and sugar but.. those ladies knew what they were doing because these brownies are sooo good.. I changed the recipe slightly but, it is basically the same. Except that I decided to cut them out into heart shapes, and top them with dark chocolate ganache and sprinkles – Yumm!
