Heart Shaped Red Velvet Brownies Recipe

January 21, 2014 by Nicole

red velvet brownies recipe

Chocolate brownies are at the top of my list of favorite desserts. Right up there next to Red Velvet Cake. So when my sister told me she had a recipe for the best ever Red Velvet Brownies, I couldn’t wait to try it out myself.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to try out my new set of heart-shaped cookie cutters. I baked the brownies as directed, let them cool and then used the cookie cutters to punch out the heart shapes. The white chocolate icing is super sweet. You can either top the brownies with it or use it to decorate the brownies. I put dots and XO’s on mine because, well, it was easy to draw dots, X’s and O’s.

Red Velvet Brownies are a lovely red-and-white twist on a brownie dessert you can enjoy anytime of year. If you don’t want to bother with cutting the brownies into shapes, it’s no big deal. They are sure to disappear fast no matter how they get served. Click to print this Red Velvet Brownies Recipe.
