We somehow got involved in helping with the gift the women in our ward at church were getting for Mother's Day. This project started out being a small gift bought at a store, but evolved into being a bit more home made after several modifications. We started trying with some brownie pops, dipped in chocolate and drizzled with red chocolate....
Those didn't end up looking so good, as the chocolate was not smooth enough for dipping. So, we tried cutting out brownie hearts, frosting them, doing dots of colored frosting, and running a toothpick through the dots....
These didn't end up looking so good either, as the hearts were not symmetrical, once the frosting was dragged with a toothpick, it was harder to tell what the original brownie shape was. But we liked the hearts for portion size, so we got the dipping chocolate and the chocolate melter, dipped the hearts and drizzled them with white and pink cookie frosting with a number 2 tip.....
This version recieved the final approval, so we made 75 of them on Friday and Saturday morning.....
and got them packaged that afternoon....
We were glad we could help, but it definitely made for a longer than normal week, and lots of trial/error brownies. Luckily my mother in law teaches seminary, so we sent the practice batches to class, and didn't have loads sitting around waiting to be eaten. So, if anybody is looking for a fun, fast, edible gift project, these hearts are great!
