Servings: 12 -16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix + ingredients on back of box
- 1 box red velvet cake mix just the powder
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or grease very well with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, prepare brownie mix according to manufacturer's instructions using ingredients on back of box. Spread into the bottom of prepared pan in an even layer.
- In another large bowl, combine red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, egg and milk and mix until completely incorporated and smooth. Spoon onto brownie layer randomly and swirl very gently with a butter knife in different directions. I like to zig zag side to side then up and down.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean with a small amount of batter on it. This will ensure that your brownies will be fudgy. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into them.
