My kids are obsessed with anything red velvet and I think I know where they got it from! The rich dark red color and the decadently rich cocoa flavor are more than you can resist! If you add some milk chocolate and or peanut butter M&M’s, you have hit pay dirt! If you are a baker, you probably have most of the ingredients for this recipe in your pantry. If you do not want to make this from scratch, you can substitute a red velvet or chocolate cake or brownie mix. These brownies are so dang yummy, you will see them disappear as if by magic! If you want to take these to the kid’s school be sure to make extras or there may not be any left to share with the kids classmates and teachers!
These brownies are perfect with a glass of cold milk after you have eaten my Skinny Meatloaf Cupcakes With Mashed Potato Frosting Recipe!
