These Chocolate Dipped Brownie Hearts take classic brownies up a notch, so if you love moist, tender brownies that taste better than anything from a box, you’re in for a treat. I love using Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate wafers for dipping—they melt so smoothly and give that rich dark chocolate flavor that’s hard to beat.
These brownies come together quickly using a boxed mix, which I love for saving time. Here’s a little kitchen secret: toss in some chocolate chips to the batter—trust me, it adds a homemade touch that really makes a difference. We’re serious brownie fans around here, so I’ve been doing this trick for years.
What you’ll need to make these brownies:
- 2 family-sized boxed brownie mixes plus the ingredients they call for
- Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- Jelly Roll Pan
- Parchment paper
- Heart Sprinkles (optional but fun!)
- Cooling rack

Let your brownies cool all the way through. Once cool, carefully cut out hearts with your cookie cutter—just don’t go too close to the edges. Arrange the hearts on a cookie sheet, then pop them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

While your chocolate melts, get your workspace ready. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper for super easy clean-up and set up a cooling rack beside it. Have your heart sprinkles nearby so they’re ready to go.
Dip one side of each chilled brownie heart into the melted chocolate, then let the extra drip off. Place them on the cooling rack so any dripping chocolate falls right through and doesn’t pool unevenly.
Quickly sprinkle the hearts right after dipping—because the brownie hearts are cold, the chocolate firms up fast. Keep dipping and sprinkling until all the hearts are coated. Then pop the tray in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to let everything set perfectly.

Keep your brownie hearts fresh by storing them in an airtight container until you’re ready to enjoy or share. You can also wrap each one up individually for a sweet gift or party favor.

Enjoy every bite!!

Let’s make some brownie hearts!
These Chocolate Dipped Brownie Hearts are really straightforward to make, so don’t worry if you’re new to baking. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and spraying a Jelly Roll pan with cooking spray. Line it with parchment paper to keep clean-up easy—Jelly Roll pans generally measure about 15.5 by 10.5 inches. Mix both boxes of brownie mix with the water, oil, and eggs by hand until smooth, then fold in a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for around 30 minutes, just watch so they don’t overbake.
Let the brownies cool completely. Then, starting away from the edges, cut out heart shapes with your cookie cutter and lay them on a cookie sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes—this will help when it comes time to dip them.


After melting your chocolate, get your dipping station set up. Grab the sprinkles and line a cookie sheet with wax paper for an easy cleanup, plus get your cooling rack ready so the chocolate can drip off without making a mess.
Dip each frozen brownie heart into the chocolate, letting the extra drip off before placing it on the cooling rack. This trick keeps them looking neat and prevents messy chocolate pools.

Quickly add your sprinkles while the chocolate’s still soft — because the brownies are frozen, that chocolate firms up fast! Keep dipping and decorating until you’ve covered all your hearts.

Store these chocolate dipped brownie hearts in a sealed container until you’re ready to serve, or wrap them individually to give as sweet little gifts.

Notes
These treats are rich; using a smaller heart cookie cutter helps keep portions satisfying but not overwhelming., Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate wafers are preferred for their smooth melt and deep flavor, but chocolate bark is a good budget-friendly alternative that still tastes great.
