These fudgy conversation heart brownies combine rich chocolate flavor with playful, sweet conversation hearts for a nostalgic and cozy treat perfect for Valentine’s Day or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups conversation hearts candy, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang for easy lifting later. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter gently in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes, so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled melted butter until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Stop mixing as soon as no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Gently fold in about 1 cup of the chopped conversation hearts, reserving the rest for topping.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining conversation hearts on top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, starting to check at 25 minutes. The edges should be set but the center slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid cakey brownies. Chop conversation hearts carefully to maintain texture. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Adjust baking time slightly depending on pan size and oven variations.
