Let cool before decorating with powdered Sugar.
To decorate the brownies, cut out 9 parchment hearts (about 1 1/4 inches) and lay them on the center of what will be each brownie. Place powdered sugar in a sieve or shaker. Shake lightly over the surface of the cake. Remove the hearts carefully to keep the heart design and cut into equal 3" squares and serve. These make a nice Valentine’s dessert. These are also great warmed up and drizzled with Hershey’s Lite Chocolate Syrup.
