Brownie Hearts

The little Erzgebirgian incense smoker fills the house with the warm scent of olibanum. The candles on the Advent wreath wait to be lighted. Hot deliciousness bakes in the oven.

Brownie Hearts
As for the recipe  I must confess I took my favourite Brownie mix.  I added butter, eggs and a sip of milk as requested on the package and prepared  the dough.  Then I spread the dough on a baking sheet a bit thinner as you would do for a true brownie, a brownie-brownie. I baked it for 20 minutes at 175°C.

Right out of the oven I cut the dough into hearts with a cookie cutter and dusted them with icing sugar.

To decorate I suggest you take a little crab apple. Isn't it cute?
