Sweets for the sweet! It won't take long to bake up a batch of these fun, heart-shaped brownies for your Valentine. To make them extra-special, pack them in a pretty tin between layers of waxed paper.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing foil to extend over ends. Prepare brownies according to package directions. Spread in prepared pan. Bake brownies until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool brownies in pan on wire rack.
2. Remove brownies from pan by lifting foil at ends. Cut 9 hearts from brownies using 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place a wire rack over waxed paper. Place brownie hearts on wire rack.
3. For glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar, milk and almond extract in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. If desired, divide glaze in half; tint half of the glaze pink with 1-2 drops red food coloring.
4. Spoon glaze over brownie hearts, allowing glaze to run down sides. (Do not spread, or crumbs will get into glaze.) Place a chocolate heart on each brownie heart. Let stand until glaze is dry, about 30 minutes.
