Red Velvet Chocolate-Swirled Brownie Bars Recipe

Red Velvet Chocolate-Swirled Brownie Bars –  These easy red velvet brownies are topped with an abundance of chocolate and are velvety soft and smooth! They don’t call it red velvet for nothing! 

Ingredients

  •  1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  •  1 large egg
  •  1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  •  1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  •  1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  •  2 vials red food coloring, or as needed (I used 2 red Betty Crocker gel food coloring vials)
  •  3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  •  pinch salt, optional and to taste
  •  1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the cocoa and whisk until smooth.
