Easy Valentines Day Treats and Decoration

On a recent visit to target to get the hubby some Advil,  I stumbled across a bag of Kraft Jet-Puffed pink heart marshmallows.  As is my weakness, attracted to all that is pink, I had to get them because they were too pretty not to!  Who does that?  Whilst I was there, I stumbled across a few other fun things to sweeten up the Valentines festivities.

Valentine brownies I made using my pink marshmallow hearts as decoration. I knew I needed those!

Necessities for Valentines brownie treats, plus a little hug and kiss letter decor from Target!

Betty Crocker... Kraft Marshmallows... how "old school" is this!

What you need:

• A packet of brownie mix of your choice.
• Any other ingredients required for the brownie mix.
• Pink heart shaped marshmallows.
• Heart shaped cookie cutter.

​
What to do:

1. ​Make up the brownie mix, following the packet instructions.  I used a 13 x 9 pan, so I could get the most hearts out of my brownie.
   
2. Let the brownie cool.
3. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can get.  The smaller hearts are better.  I only had a big heart (excuse the pun), so that's why I topped mine with three marshmallows so to keep it in proportion.  If you have a smaller heart cutter, then top each brownie with one marshmallow heart.
   
4. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

It's so simple and basic, but super cute, easy and adorable for Valentines!  I gave these out to my tennis girlfriends, and they loved them.  One of them texted me after the match to say she had eaten the whole brownie on her way home!

How cute are these kitchen towels - also from Target and less than $5

 Also whilst you're baking your love brownies, show yourself a little love with a big  glass of wine!  Target is great for these creative inexpensive decor pieces, and who'd have thought that an errand for Advil would result in a sweet romantic ending! 

Happy Valentines Day Lovelies!
