A little bit ago I posted some cookie pictures & I told you that I baked something else that day along with the cookies.

I teased a bit & then promised that I would share that extra treat with you soon. So here they are…Frostbitten Red Velvet Brownie Bites.

Just so you know, I had planned on making some breakfast muffins that day & then after making the cookies I thought I would just take the rest of the afternoon to peruse Pinterest instead.

Then I came across these in my old recipe bin & I absolutely had to make them. Before I knew it I was surveying the pantry & was thrilled when I had everything I needed.

After gathering my supplies, I immediately started baking & was positively giddy. So I know – all you really want is the recipe 🙂 Here you go…

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use buttercream frosting on these brownies?

Yes, if you prefer buttercream frosting over cream cheese frosting, you can use this super easy bakery buttercream frosting recipe I have here.

What type of food coloring should I use?

The first time I made these I used the regular liquid food coloring. Over the years I have shifted to using the gel food color and I absolutely love the result. You can find it through the link provided or at any cake decorating supply store if you have one nearby.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Brownies

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter- diced (1 stick)
• 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate squares or bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1-1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. table salt
• 2 tbsp. liquid or gel red food coloring
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Icing

• 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature
• 4 tbsp butter room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar sifted
• White sparkling sugar opt.
• Snowflake sprinkles opt

Instructions

• Preheat Oven to 325.
• Line a metal 9"x9" baking pan using either non-stick foil or regular foil sprayed with non-stick spray. (please do this- as it helps remove the brownies from the pan later on. This is a step I contemplated skipping & I'm so happy I didn't.)
• Stir butter & chocolate in a heavy large saucepan over low heat until all is melted. Remove from heat.
• Whisk in sugar & then eggs- one at a time.
• Stir in vanilla, salt & food coloring.
• Sift flour & baking powder with a whisk. Stir into wet mixture & blend well.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan.
• Bake until puffed & dry looking- or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some moist batter attached. (about 30-35 minutes).
• Cool completely in pan on a rack. (I was impatient & stuck mine directly into the freezer to cool it faster)

Icing

• Beat cream cheese & butter until lightly fluffy.
• Add vanilla & lightly mix.
• Add confectioners sugar & beat to combine. (if it's too thick- add a splash of milk)
• Using the foil as an aid- lift brownies from pan & place on cutting board.
• Remove foil from sides.
• Spread cream cheese over brownies & add sparkles.
• Cut brownies into bite size pieces.
• To get a cleaner cut- wipe the knife after each slice.

Notes

In the future - I will probably cut the brownies first & make a little more frosting so I can pipe it on each bite. I think it will be more aesthetically pleasing & keep the fingers cleaner when grabbing for one.
