Fudge Brownies

I think I should change Everything is Better with Frosting to Everything is Better with Chocolate. Just kidding, but really, almost all of my recipes have to do with chocolate. But I promise to post more than just chocolate and caramel. After these delicious guys. I've always tried to make brownie; and I've always failed. They either come out flat, dry, or just plain bad. Until I made these little bites of heaven. I guess by making my own recipe, they turned out better? I really don't know what it was, but I guess you can say these are the best brownies I've ever made.

If you want, bake the brownies in a sheet pan and cut into hearts with a cookie cutter. 

Frost with any icing if desired. I made mine look like giant conversation hearts. I sent them to my cousin in college, probably not the best dessert to ship through three states....
