Sweetheart Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan and set aside.

In a saucepan set over low heat, add the butter and chopped chocolate. Stir until melted and remove from heat to cool.

Sift flour together with the salt and set aside.

Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix well until incorporated and smooth. Probably only a couple of minutes. Remember do not over mix! If you mix it too long, you will end up with more of a cake texture.

Next, add the chocolate mixture and stir until incorporated. Add flour all at once and gently stir in with a wooden spoon until just incorporated. Pour the batter into prepared and evenly spread out the batter. Sprinkle over the heart shaped sprinkles. Bake for around 15 - 18 minutes. Check a few minutes before the baking time is up and insert a toothpick. A few moist crumbs should come out on the stick.

Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Once cooled, use a 2 inch heart shaped cutter to cut out the brownies. Store in an airtight container. Will keep for 2 - 3 days.
