Romantic Dessert With Some Store-Bought Help

Although I plan on posting a homemade dessert to go along these valentine meal ideas, you may want to use a little bit store-bought help.  In fact, it would be great if you can keep this under your sleeves all time.  Here are the kits that you need to have:

What You Need

Vanilla Ice-Cream and/or Valentine's Day Sprinkles

2. Pick your desired size of heart-shaped cookie cutter and press into the brownie
3. Brownie will come out together with the cookie cutter and transfer brownie to serving plate
4. Top with ice-cream as desired (Or simply top brownies with sprinkles like I did)
