WOW this was good! I don’t even like Red Velvet – not enough chocolate and too much food coloring flavor to me. But I chose these brownies for Valentine’s Day for someone who I knew liked Red Velvet. I agree there was “too much” frosting, but I just put less on the brownies. And I can think of all kinds of ways to use up the remainder! Wonderful brownies, thanks!

I made these to take into work for Valentine’s Day and they were a huge hit! I cut them into bite sized pieces since they are so rich and sweet. Definitely making them again.

These are awesome. I added the chocolate chips, but they would be great either way. I only had Wilton gel food coloring and not liquid so I added a little water to get a better consistency and mix the cocoa paste together. It worked out just fine. I used cream cheese frosting because I was out of white chocolate. I can’t wait to try again and use the white chocolate buttercream instead.

Agree that the brownies are fantastic and the frosting is overly sweet. I added a bit of cream cheese, but it made the frosting taste like ice cream! I think I will try a different frosting next time because these brownies are too good not to make again! Love the addition of the chocolate chips, it really adds a richness. I also used about half of the frosting, so you could make less or add to graham crackers for an afternoon snack

Yummy! I made these to take to a chef’s house for dinner. An intimidating prospect!

They turned out so great! I loved the chocolate chips included – and the denseness of the brownies – perfect!

The frosting was good, but I thought it overly sweet. I actually wound up adding in a little bit of sour cream (what I had on hand) to cut it a little bit and it helped. I only used about half of the frosting that the recipe made also. So you could cut down or you could use the extra frosting for something else!

Overall – a definite YES. And a recipe I’ll for sure make again!

These do have a denseness and chewiness about them that I found very satisfying! They do have a delicate cocoa flavor but I didn’t think they really had a “Red Velvet” flavor. The frosting is pretty tasty and paired well with the brownie. I may double or triple the frosting recipe and try it on different things! Overall I think these are good just not the red velvet fix I’d hoped for.

The Foodie Gods have smiled down on me… I was just wishing the other day for a Red Velvet Brownie… I think I’ll be baking these after my next trip to the grocery store! YUM!
