RED VELVET BROWNIES-DENSE & CHEWY TOPPED WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

It boasted a smoother texture than traditional cake. Red Velvet Cake came on the scene with the creation of red food coloring in the 1930’s. Many product names incorporate the name “Red Velvet”, including everything from candles to cookies to donuts and of course, brownies!
