When I posted a picture of the batter, several of you commented that you were drooling and wanted the recipe! Well, wipe up that drool and bust out your baking pans, because here it is! 
The recipe calls for six simple ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 c. melted butter
- 1/2 c. water
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 c. chocolate chips (optional)
- cream cheese frosting
I <3 Batter
Mix the first three ingredients before stirring in the red velvet cake mix and folding in the chocolate chips.
Don't Forget to Lick the Bowl
Pour the batter into a baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
A-waitin' the Bakin'
Bake at 325 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes. Stick a knife in the middle of the brownies to test for doneness. If the knife comes back without any brownie residue, you’ve got yourself some ready-to-eat brownies.
Frost Me, Baby!
Now comes the hard part:
Allow the brownies to cool before frosting them with the cream cheese frosting.
Red Velvet Cake Brownies

Yum!
Making brownies from a box mix has saved me numerous times when I’ve needed to bring a homemade dessert to a party or event. This recipe was a neat twist on brownies made from a box mix, I’ll be keepin’ it on hand for the future.
Yum!
I love the color of the brownies!! They look oh so good and I will definitely be making these sometime!!
Thanks for the recipe!!

OH YUM!!! Red Velvet cake is my fav. so I will definitely be making these…maybe Sunday for the Dexter premier and call them blood brownies
Jenny Velasquez
Thanks for that. We’re having a big potluck party next month, kind of for Xmas I guess and I’ve been trying to find something special to take.. found some awesome ideas at this potluck recipe site. You know, someone should invent a website where you can write what you’ll be taking, and it would make sure no one is bringing the same thing!

Someone told me you can do brownies from almost any boxed cakemix. I was just thinking that carrot cake brownies sound really good as well as german chocholate! Think I will give them a try!
Becky Rosen
I had these for Valentines Day! Everyone loved them
Thank you!

I tried this but they turned out more cake like….and crumbly….very tastey but not sure where i went wrong since i followed the recipe to a T.
They were not the texture of a brownie…
Any suggesstions?
