If you love decadence in your dessert…THESE BROWNIES will do the trick.
Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, it’s time to make a meal plan that says “love” through food. I always think Valentine’s dessert should be a little over the top. These definitely fit the bill. Just look at them.
I refrained from adding nuts because my kids don’t like them in brownies but if I made them for myself, walnuts be in there too.
My inspiration for these was a half a jar of caramel I found in the fridge. It needed a new life.
What could be better than a warm, gooey brownie……maybe winning the lotto, but this is more of a sure thing!
I know you will enjoy these!

Oh my gosh…these look so decadent! They are the perfect Valentine treat, and I love the heart toothpicks! Cathy-Did you purchase them or make them?
Cathy says
They were purchased but not recently. They would be easy to make.
Jen @ Savory Simple says
They really do look ooey and gooey! I want.
Colleen says
Oh. My. Gracious. I’m not sure I can wait until Valentine’s Day to make these suckers. Especially considering I already have all the ingredients. In my neck of the woods we are due for a wallop of a winter storm today. I guess I’ll be making them while my little boy naps. Thanks for another AMAZING recipe! I’m sure my husband will appreciate it too, when he gets home from work after driving through near blizzard conditions! Thanks again!

Yum! Yum! Yum! Another winner Cathy! For Valentine’s Day my husband and I are making filets with a coffee chile spice rub…shingled potatoes…and Italian spinach. For dessert…drum roll please…I am making the Strawberry Margarita Cake Bites you posted recently! Can’t wait to try them! Happy Valentine’s Day! đŸ™‚

I bet subbing in gluten-free all-purpose flour in this recipe would work perfectly, Cathy. These brownies look amazing! So glad you spied that jar of caramel sauce! đŸ˜‰
