For those of you looking for a last-minute Valentine's Day treat, check out this recipe for brownies from D.C. bakery Something Sweet.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't cut these little guys into hearts once they were done baking and hand them out to everyone you love. Let me know if you give them a try!

Something Sweet’s Brownies

Makes about 20 brownies

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
21 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (2 8-tablespoon sticks of butter plus 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon) butter, cut into pieces
3½ cups sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 eggs
2 tablespoons instant-coffee granules
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
Optional: 2½ cups walnuts, whole or chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray.

Combine both chocolates and the butter in a medium-size bowl and heat on high in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take the mixture out, stir with a rubber spatula, and repeat heating in 30-second increments until the chocolate and butter have melted, about 2 minutes total. Set aside to cool.

Place the sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and coffee granules in a large bowl, and mix with a large whisk until the ingredients are blended.

When the chocolate mixture has cooled (it can be slightly warm, but not hot, to the touch), slowly pour it into the bowl with the eggs while constantly whisking until the chocolate is incorporated. If using walnuts, stir them into the mixture.

Pour the brownie mixture evenly into the greased pan. Bake it for 17 minutes, and then rotate the pan and bake for another 17 minutes. Set aside to cool in the pan.
