Red Velvet Tuxedo Brownies

Roll out the Red Carpet! 

There’s a new brownie in town and these Red Velvet Tuxedo Brownies are such a lovely red velvet color, adorned with a luscious, satin chocolate frosting and sprinkled with chopped dark European chocolate.  Now that’s an entrance!

I mentioned on FB  that I was going to be doing some healthy dessert recipes during the winter season.

BUT, don’t freak out on me because I made these, because that ‘s one thing you will never have to worry about.  I will always be making these dreamy kinds of desserts right along with those healthy ones, too. 

I mean, this is what I dream about day and night.  BROWNIES! 

If you love brownies too like me, the ‘crazy brownie lady’, you can always check out my Kahlua Cheesecake Snickers Brownies, Turtle Caramel Truffle Brownies or my Rich Fudgy Flourless Brownies {GF} just to name a few.

One thing I didn’t tell you, is that these chewy, delicious brownies are made with a red velvet cake mix doctored up with only 4 ingredients.   The icing has only 5 ingredients!  Easy is good. 🙂

 Trust me, you want these in your life!  Besides, Valentine’s day is coming up, no? 🙂

Move over Hollywood! Here’s the recipe!

Ingredients

Red Velvet Brownies

• 1 box red velvet cake mix
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 egg slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup almond milk or milk

Tuxedo Chocolate Satin Frosting

• 1 - 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
• 1/4 cup almond milk or milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Sprinkles

• 1/4 cup good quality dark chocolate I used Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate, chopped for sprinkling

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan with non-stick spray .

Red Velvet Brownies

• Pour cake mix in a large bowl and mix in the oil and egg using mixer. Then add the milk slowly just until the batter is combined. The batter will be very thick.
• Drop batter in prepared pan and spread out using a spoon or use your finger tips and press down evenly and bake for 24-26 minutes.
• Let cool for at least 60 minutes before preparing to serve. The gooey center needs to set to get that perfect, decadent brownie texture.

Tuxedo Chocolate Satin Frosting

• In a small bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder.
• In another bowl, cream butter with mixer, then add milk and vanilla.
• Add in the confectioners' sugar/cocoa powder mixture and beat until smooth and free of lumps.
• Frost brownies, then sprinkle with good quality dark chocolate bits.
• Place brownies in refrigerator, covered until ready to cut and serve.
• Store remaining brownies in airtight container in refrigerator.
