Dark Cocoa Brownies
Valentine’s day slipped by with hardly a whisper this year, no doubt drowned out by the sound of firecrackers going off for Chinese New Year. The Saturday night before we had a huge dinner at a Sichuan restaurant in Queens that involved chilies, chilies, and more chilies. There was rabbit, and rice cakes, and amazingly good steamed buns served with sweetened condensed milk. Sunday was a quiet day: a little breakfast, some olympics, and lots of time spent indoors, relishing in a lazy long weekend.
By the middle of last week I was feeling that maybe I’d neglected Valentine’s a little. I love holidays, even silly ones that many would chose to ignore; any excuse to give gifts, bake sweets and make a special dinner is good enough for me. Because everyone else was doing it, I decided to make these dark cocoa brownies, and I’m glad I did. I cut them into little hearts and sent a package off to my parents, and one of my uncles. The rest we gladly gobbled up ourselves. They’re fudgy and rich and nearly black (I would love to make a Spinal Tap reference but sadly there are some brownies that are blacker: Ms. Dula’s).
Because the recipe has been posted by all and sundry I’m not going to post it again here. You can find it at:

Make them and enjoy!

I’m flattered to be mentioned on your blog and to be in the same sentence as Spinal Tap
I saw those recipes, too, and noticed that everyone and their sister was posting about dark chocolate brownies at the same time, but yours are the only heart shaped brownies. Cute as can be! Love the table arrangement, too.
I can attest to the flavor, amazing. Not too sweet but oh so fudgy.
Yum!!
