Valentine's Day Brownies
If you're searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day treat, look no further than these adorable, frosted brownie bites! They’re incredibly easy to make, deliciously decadent, and perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Ingredients
- Pre-made brownie bites from Walmart
- Butter cream frosting recipe below
- Festive toppings like strawberries, raspberries, and Valentine’s Day candy
Buttercream Frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter room temperature
- 4 1/2 to 5 cups powdered sugar or added to taste
- 1/4 tsp fine salt or to taste
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-4 Tbsp heavy cream or whole milk added to desired consistency
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or handheld electric mixer), beat butter on high speed for 5 minutes or until lightened in color and whipped, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Sift powdered sugar.
- Change to paddle attachment, reduce mixer to medium-low speed and add powdered sugar one spoonful at a time, letting it incorporate with each addition. Add powdered sugar to taste and beat until it is fully combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add salt and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
- Add heavy cream or milk, 1 TBSP at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Beat another minute until whipped and well combined.
Assemble:
- Top the brownies with the butter cream and add a festive topping. I like to use a plastic baggie for this step. Fill the baggie with the frosting then snip off the corner of the baggie with scissors for a makeshift piping bag.
- Toppings can be switched up to make these work for any occasion
