Red Velvet Brownies

I made these for Valentine's day. I was obviously going with a red theme and figured that red velvet brownies were worth a shot. They turned out amazing and I was even told they were "bloody good!"

Linking up with Buns In My Oven because sharing is caring!

Red Velvet Brownies

1 stick of butter

1 1/8 c sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbs vanilla extract

1 box red velvet cake mix

• Preheat oven to 350*
• Beat the eggs, salt, baking powder, and vanilla until smooth.
• In a separate bowl microwave to melt the butter, add the sugar, and stir. Microwave a little longer until hot. It should become shiny as you stir. Heat once more - this will create a shiny top crust on the brownies.
• Add the hot butter/sugar mix to the chocolate concoction and stir until smooth.
• Mix in the red velvet cake mix in 1/2 cup increments.
• Bake 35-45min.

I used an 8x8 brownie pan, but will probably try out the larger pan next time.

Cream Cheese Icing
4 oz cream cheese
