Mail from Grandma ~ Red Velvet Brownies

Hi everyone! Sorry I did not post this past Saturday. Our house was so sick last week. We had a lot of resting to do. It was a pretty scene; do you all know the movie Willy Wonka? You know how all of Charlie's grandparents lay in the same bed day and night? Well we call this "Wonkafied" Lets just say we were very Wonkafied this past Saturday...

So now that I have sprung up out of bed, how about a Sweet Tooth Tuesday? I think it rolls off the tongue just as nice as Sweet Tooth Saturday...And we have Mail from Grandma!

 

Mail From Grandma

Red Velvet Brownies

Valentines Day is close approaching, what better to surprise your sweetie with than Red Velvet Brownies?

 

Ingredients:

 

1 4oz. bitter sweet chocolate baking bar, chopped

1/4 cup of butter

2 cups of sugar

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1oz. bottle red liquid food coloring

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp salt

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9 inch pan with foil and lightly grease.

Microwave the chocolate and butter until melted, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

Wisk in sugar and add eggs 1 at a time.

Gently stir in flour and next four ingredients.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 44 to 48 minutes.

Let cool in pan on a wire rack for two hours. Removed the brownies from the pan using the foil as handles.

Decorate and serve as desired. I used my heart shaped cookie cutters and dusted the hearts with powdered sugar.



Mmmmm they are delicious! Great recipe Grandma, thanks!

Happy Sweet Tooth Tuesday everyone ;)
