A Week of Love & Butter
These heart-shaped brownies are part of my Week of Love & Butter, and they’re meant to be shared… or not. They’re rich, deeply chocolatey, and soft in the center — the kind of dessert that feels special without being complicated.
I love this recipe because it holds space for self-love just as much as it does for giving. You can bake a batch to box up for friends, neighbors, or someone you love — or you can keep a few aside just for yourself. Either way, the act of making them is the point. Slowing down. Melting butter. Whisking until glossy. Letting something simple turn into something meaningful.
Using silicone heart molds (Find them here) keeps the process easy and forgiving, and finishing them with a dip of chocolate ganache and sprinkles makes them feel celebratory without being fussy. They’re sweet, yes — but grounded. Cozy. Familiar.
Packaging These for Gifting
One of my favorite parts of this recipe is how easily these brownies turn into a thoughtful gift. Once they’re cooled and dipped, they tuck perfectly into small bakery boxes and look beautiful with a simple sticker or ribbon.
Below, I’m sharing the exact boxes, similar stickers, and sprinkles I used to package these heart brownies — all easy finds that make gifting feel special without a lot of extra effort.

A Little Note on Self-Love
Not every Valentine’s bake needs to be about grand gestures. Sometimes love looks like cutting yourself a brownie, letting the ganache set just enough, and enjoying it with a cup of coffee when the kitchen is quiet.
These heart-shaped brownies are a reminder that love can be simple, and butter makes everything better.
From my Table to yours…
