Decorating: Where Magic Happens
As the brownies bake, Sarah and Emily prepare for the most magical part: decorating. The kitchen buzzes with excitement as they spread the remaining melted chocolate over the cooled brownies. Then, the highlight of their day – adorning each brownie square with dried pansies, turning each piece into a floral fantasy.
Emily’s eyes sparkle as she places each pansy, her tiny fingers delicately pressing them into the chocolate. Sarah, with a smile, adds finishing touches with rose gold wringing icing, creating a pattern as unique as their bond.
Sharing the Joy
Once decorated, they cut the brownies into neat squares, each a small piece of art. The moment of truth arrives as they take their first bites, the rich chocolate perfectly complemented by the subtle, earthy notes of the edible flowers.
But the true joy lies beyond the flavors. It’s in the laughter, the shared glances, and the flour on their noses. It’s in the way Emily looks up at Sarah, eyes gleaming with pride and happiness.
More Than Just Brownies
As they clean up, Sarah reflects on the afternoon spent with Emily. These brownies, adorned with pansies and filled with love, are more than just a treat; they are a symbol of their time together, a memory baked into each bite.

Edible Flower Brownies
Prep time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 18-20 minutes
6 brownies
Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 stick butter
4 oz dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips ( or mix of both)
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
Rose gold wringing icing (optional)
6- 8 dried pansies
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, grease and line a square 7×7 baking pan with parchment paper
2. In a bowl that is safe to use in the microwave, combine the butter and dark chocolate (or dark chocolate chips) and melt them together. Alternatively, you can melt them on a stove over low heat. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth, then add a pinch of salt and set it aside to cool slightly.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs. Use an electric mixer to mix them together for about 3-5 minutes. Then, add some vanilla extract and the melted chocolate (excluding 2 tablespoons, which will be used later for a glaze). Fold in flour and add some chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
4. Transfer the batter into the prepared 7×7 baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once the brownies are finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely within the pan. Once cooled, transfer the brownies from the pan to a cutting board.
Take the remaining melted chocolate and spread it on top of the brownies. Gently press dried pansies onto the surface of the brownies, creating a lovely floral design. If desired, you can also use rose gold wringing icing to add decorative patterns on top of the brownies. Lastly, cut the brownies into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your delicious brownies!
