Ingredients
Red Velvet Brownies
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- ¼ cup almond milk or milk
Tuxedo Chocolate Satin Frosting
- 1 - ¼ cups confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup almond milk or milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Sprinkles
- ¼ 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.

Hubby & I tried unsweet vanilla almond milk this morning.
We had it with our cereal. I liked it. He said it doesn't have much flavor.
We are setting out in 2015 with a goal to eat healthier.
So, we went to Trader Joe's and bought more almond milk, some coconut milk and some rice milk.
Have a great weekend!
