With Valentines Day right around the corner I was thinking red. Our divine Red Velvet Cake is a classic standard for Cupid's day, but what about a little twist on the norm? I love the texture of brownies, why not incorporate the two, and voila!!...Red Velvet Brownies. I topped these with our fluffy vanilla icing, but a cream cheese icing would be lovely as well, or just plain naked!
Our Valentines Day gift to you...
