  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies 1x

Description

Decadent, fudgy Valentine Brownies crafted for 2025—rich chocolate flavor, glossy topping, and festive decorations perfect for romantic celebrations or Galentine’s gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 5 ounces Ghirardelli melting wafers (dark or milk)
  • Red, pink, or white melting wafers (optional)
  • Valentine’s sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 13×9-inch pan with parchment for easy removal.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan, remove from heat, and add chocolate morsels and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly, then add vanilla.
  4. Fold in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder just until combined.
  5. Spread batter into the pan and bake 22–24 minutes until a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
  6. Cool completely, cut into squares, drizzle with melted wafers, and add sprinkles.

Notes

Let brownies cool fully before decorating to avoid melting the chocolate drizzle and ensure clean cuts.
