Decadent Red Velvet Brownies

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner!  Will you be making a sweet treat for someone you love?  Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting may be the most decadent treat on earth!

Ingredients to make Red Velvet Brownies spread out on a counter top.

This is such a great recipe because it begins with 2 boxed mixes so there is very little measuring required!

Just mix by hand and pop them in the oven.

Let the brownies cool completely before slathering with rich cream cheese frosting.

I like to sprinkle the tops of my Red Velvet Brownies with a tiny bit of unsweetened coco, to hint that there is chocolate here!   Make a batch today, your Lovies will be so happy!

Red Velvet Brownies

Batter

1 package family size dark chocolate brownie mix

1 package yellow cake mix

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk

¾ cup canola oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 eggs

1-ounce red food coloring, I used Wilton

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small bowl mix all wet ingredients including red coloring until well blended.  Place both brownie and cake mix in a large bowl and whisk until mixed well, add chocolate chips.  Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until no lumps remain.  Spread batter into a greased 8×11 glass baking dish.  Bake for 50-58 minutes until edges are beginning to brown.  Let brownies cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

1 8-ounce package cream cheese at room temperature

2 tablespoons butter at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 cups powdered sugar

Using a hand mixer combine butter, cream cheese and vanilla and mix well.  Add sugar slowly until all is combined.  Frost cooled brownies.

I hope to see YOU in an upcoming Cooking Class!  I have new titles just added TODAY!

There are still a few seats remaining for the extraordinary 2-day culinary event; Food and Wine Workshop on March 21-22nd.

I hope you will join me!
