RED VELVET BROWNIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

These red velvet brownies are seriously the perfect brownie recipe!  Perfectly moist and chewy with the bright red color.  The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch!  These are AMAZING!

These are literally one of the best brownies that I have ever had.  I have been working so hard to lose those extra holiday pounds and finally was able to do it.  I have really been trying hard to eat clean and watch what I eat.  But as soon as I saw these brownies I had to make them!  I am obsessed with all things red velvet and I couldn’t wait to reward myself with a treat!

I couldn’t believe how perfect these brownies turned out!  I have never had a more moist and chewy brownie and they were so easy to make.  I had them in the oven within minutes.   The cream cheese frosting is completely optional but I believe that red velvet and cream cheese frosting are meant to be together.
