Today I was busy baking this
Heart Shaped Tuxedo Brownie
for the love of my life.
Mr Scrapatch picked up takeout for lunch while I baked and frosted.
Tomorrow he will be working a double shift so the yummy goodies started today.
Sometime over the weekend we will also go out to one of our favorite restaurants.
Here is my indulgent treat for today ...

Grease and line a 8-inch heart shaped pan with waxed paper.
In large mixing bowl blend oil or melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat in room-temperature eggs.
Using a spoon, mix in sour cream. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Stir dry ingredients mix into wet mix.
Bake 45 minutes, check and possibly bake 5-10 minutes more or until top is dry and center is still fudgy.

Add more powdered sugar, as needed. Spread over sides and top of brownie. Press Mini Chocolate Chips on sides, if desired.
Chocolate Glaze:
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon milk or cream
1 tablespoon butter

Mini Chocolate Chips for garnish
Melt chocolate chips and milk and butter just until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Add more powdered sugar as needed to make thin glaze that drizzles off spoon. Drizzle over cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
Cut and serve and enjoy!
