01 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
02 -
1 cup sugar (white, granulated)
03 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
04 -
2 tablespoons Valentine sprinkles for mixing
05 -
2 large eggs, cracked open
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
07 -
1/2 cup butter, softened and warm
08 -
2 cups regular all-purpose flour
→ Toppings
09 -
1/4 cup of Valentine-themed sprinkles
10 -
1 tablespoon of red M&Ms or sweet candy hearts
11 -
1 container of white frosting (Duncan Hines suggested)
# Étapes de réalisation:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up. Use parchment paper to line an 8-inch non-stick square pan so the bars are easy to lift out later.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl (or use a stand mixer), toss in all the dry stuff first. After that, add eggs, butter, and vanilla, then stir until the dough comes together smoothly. Lastly, mix in the Valentine sprinkles gently.
03 -
Push the dough evenly into the prepared pan, pressing it into all corners. Bake for about 15-20 minutes—check with a toothpick in the middle to see if it comes out clean. Let it cool down entirely before adding toppings.
04 -
Once your bars are cold, spread the frosting nice and thick over everything using a spoon or butter knife. Top with sprinkles and decorate with candy hearts or M&Ms. Slice into small squares (2 inches each) and enjoy!
