Forgo the box of generic chocolates and bake a batch of these easy (personalized!) Valentine’s Day brownies for your nearest and dearest. Make it the finale of a romantic Valentine’s dinner or a fun Valentine’s Day craft to make with the kids.

These decadent homemade treats are super chocolatey thanks to two types of chocolate and cocoa and are absolutely worth the calories, but if you’re pressed for time, a boxed brownie mix would be just as sweet. Use store-bought frosting (thinned with a little water if too thick) for pouring out your heart in writing or just indulging in your favorite Valentine’s day puns!
