Craving something rich, chocolatey, and a little fancy? These fudgy red velvet brownies are your perfect fix—soft, decadent, and bursting with that classic red velvet flavor.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
• 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• ½ tbsp red gel food coloring
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional—stir into the batter or melt and drizzle on top)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth and fully combined.
3. Mix in the sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is creamy. Stir in the vanilla, vinegar, and red food coloring until the batter is evenly colored.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix, or the brownies will be dense. If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For an extra touch, drizzle with melted white chocolate before slicing.
9. Serve, savor, and watch them disappear fast!
