These DIY kits include Queen Street Bakery’s Superfood 1-for-1 Baking Flour, the dry ingredients to make the brownie bites, the recipe card with a QR code to access the full digital recipe book, heart shaped silicone molds, and, of course, the 24K edible gold leaf.

I love the heart shaped pizzas. I thought they were the best idea until the HEART SHAPED BROWNIES with edible GOLD LEAF scrolled along! I have gold leaf on my metal bed frame, on wall sconces and picture frames and love gold hoop earrings. I feel like Lorelei Lee’s delight in finding the tiara was a new place to wear diamonds!
