🧰 Equipment Needed

You’ll need a few basic baking tools:

• Whisk
• Spatula
• Electric mixer (optional)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• 9×13-inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Cooling rack

🛒 Ingredients

These ingredients come together to create thick, fudgy Valentine brownies with rich chocolate depth.

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1¼ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pink food coloring
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup white chocolate chips
• 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup pink sprinkles
• ¼ cup red and pink candy hearts

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4: Add Color and Cocoa
Mix in the pink food coloring until evenly distributed. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth and rich in color.

Step 5: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Fold in the flour and salt gently using a spatula. Mix just until combined to keep the brownies fudgy.

Step 6: Add Mix-Ins
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped Oreo cookies.

Step 7: Transfer to Pan
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 8: Add Valentine Toppings
Sprinkle the top with pink sprinkles and candy hearts, pressing them gently into the batter.

Step 9: Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.

Step 10: Cool and Slice
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
