Sweetheart Brownies ♥

You Guys!!! I had a whole post written for the easiest and cutest sweetheart brownies I made last year. With Valentine’s Day content loading I thought a refresh would be the perfect way to reintroduce #shebakessunday

No sir, no ma’am!!

I took girlfriend to Michaels to choose her own sprinkles to mix, icing colors - whatever she felt like she needed to make this fun. I got some footage of her taking on her first solo baking run and was so excited seeing the idea I had for capturing this treat come together.

We got home, unpacked and started filming. I might also add I got the cream/oil combo on her hair just right so her curls were ready to show up!! She measured, mixed and set her brownies in the oven just before we lost all daylight.

Now cakes are my money maker, literally haha, so I can obviously manage a box of brownies. So I thought. I pulled girlfriend’s brownies out of the oven but wasn’t 100% they were done. Like a whole amateur I lifted the hot pan in the air to check the bottom (that’s not a thing. Don’t do it. I don’t even know why I did to be entirely honest.) and dropped all her hot delicious brownie goodness onto the stove.

Surprisingly, she wasn’t upset but instead excited this meant (in her mind) she could eat them sooner. I promised we’d get more mix tomorrow and remake them before I realized that wasn’t going to be a thing either.

We’d then have a full pan of brownies - mangled but brownies all the same and a another pan just to decorate, film and argue about her eating. Nah.

It pretty quickly hit me I could recover with a new treat and I know how we’ll be putting that otherwise “useless” pan of brownies to work. I think I’m more excited for the Sweetheart Brownie “remix” as it shall forever be called because it’s not only practical but its honest.

I could absolutely start over and pretend this little blooper didn’t happen but when you drop a pan of brownies in real time starting over isn’t always an option.

Things don’t always go according to plan and when they don’t we have 1 of 3 options if we’re to be successful: improvise, adapt & overcome. Tell me you’re from a military family without telling me you’re from a military family.

There is a tiny lesson on ingenuity, creativity, and perseverance here but there is also just a delicious treat you can easily make with even that “failed” pan of brownies.

Remix coming soon… ♥
