It’s Friday! Which means this week is finally over. And it means it’s Valentine’s Day!

So, whether you need something to celebrate making it through a rough week or a special dessert to celebrate with your loved one, I have an easy recipe that is sure to brighten any day!

These raspberry brownie magic bars are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

The base is a rich, fudgy brownie that would be amazing all by itself. In fact, it’s one of my go-to recipes when I want to whip up a quick batch.

Instead, I topped it with raspberry preserves, 3 kinds of chocolate, and toasted pecans. Sweetened condensed milk is then poured over top.

Can you go wrong with adding sweetened condensed milk?! It just adds another rich, gooey layer to these already rich, decadent brownies. Yes, they really are irresistible!
