Soft fudge brownies are topped with a thick layer of rich chocolate ganache and make the perfect Valentine dessert to share with your loved ones and friends. Happy Valentine’s Day Something Swanky readers! It’s me Emily from It Bakes Me Happy and today I baked you some seriously delicious Ganache Brownies. Because honestly, what’s better at Valentine’s Day than chocolate? Double chocolate! I’m a hopeless chocolate addict, I love it in every form, but brownies happen to be my all time favorite dessert, especially fudge brownies. Top that with a layer of smooth, creamy ganache and I’m in heaven, seriously! I could eat these every day for the rest of my life with zero regret, but my hips probably wouldn’t like me for it. These ganache topped brownies are a super rich, decadent treat that makes the perfect ending to that special dinner you have planned. Bake up a batch of these irresistible brownies for a friend or your sweetie and snag one (or two) for yourself, because trust me you don’t want to miss out on them. While I definitely prefer chocolate on Valentine’s Day, you can toss on a few festive sprinkles to cater the look of these to almost any occasion. I hope that you have a great Valentine’s Day, enjoy and happy baking!

My homemade brownies never come out good. These make me want to give it another try! Looks great! Reply
Ganache brownies? For real?? I need a moment of silence. Please just bring me the entire pan and I will get back to you when I can talk / move again. That will be all. Pinned. LOVE. Reply
These are so good! I made them yesterday and put St. Patricks Day sprinkles on them and they were the cutest little brownie bites ever! I did use the stovetop instead of the microwave to melt it all. One thing about these is if after 25 minutes the toothpick doesn’t come out clean, take them out of the oven anyway! I left mine in the oven for a little too long, but they still turned great and my family loved them. Reply
