I’m a fan of not messing with something that is already great. Kathleen at Twig & Thistle has adorable printables for Valentines. I’m sure you have seen them around–they are awesome!  When I saw her brownie bags I couldn’t stop thinking about brownies. My mom makes the best brownies. They are fudge-y and chewy, soft and crusty, and even after days in their dried out state are still so delicious. They are evil. But oh so good. So, I set out to combined the pretty package with the evil brownies- Evil treats for the sweetest sweet! I ran into a couple snags along the way. First, I tried to print on regular brown paper lunch bags. My printer had a hard time and they came out with black ink smeared across them. Looking like they had been ran over and were now covered in tire tracks. I couldn’t find bags (like Twig & Thistle’s) at Micheal’s. Because I had a pan of {evil} brownies sitting on my counter screaming at me to eat them I had to act fast. I ended up printing on regular 8.5 x 11″ paper, folding the bottom edge up, folding in thirds, and using double sided tape to hold it all together and used scallop scissors to make the bags the height I wanted. I added a red glassine insert because I happened to have red glassine. The bags were filled with brownies cut into bite size hearts with a cookie cutter. And promptly delivered. So promptly, I failed to get a shot of the final project. And here is the recipe for the best brownies ever.

Mom’s Brownies
1 1/4 cups butter
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
walnuts are optional
Cream butter and sugar. Add the remaining ingredients in order. Bake in a greased 13 x 18″ pan (cookie sheet) at 325º for 40-45 minutes.

These brownies do not need frosting. They are perfect just like this. Although, I suppose if you are a believer in brownies with frosting you could try it. But I don’t recommend it.
