Red Velvet Swirl Brownies

October 9th, 2012



All bets are off when it comes to sweets during the month of October (there must be some rule that calories don’t count leading up to Halloween, right?). I find all of the temptations – mini candy bars, caramel apples, and baked goods nearly impossible to resist, and these red velvet swirl brownies pretty much top that list. I made a batch last week and have since decided that they’d make an excellent addition to our Halloween party menu, perhaps renamed “bloody brownies.”

    Look so amazing, but the real question is how were your nails done? They look amazing.

    I have decided that candy corn doesn’t count in the calorie intake count.

    Two things: I love red velvet and I definitely NEED to try making these and dos I also just painted my nails black with glitter on them. Fall is definitely here!

  • http://ainfintaire.blogspot.com Alice

    Oooooooh this looks so good.
    Once again, Emily, you have succeeded in making me drool all over my computer. One of these days, I’ll have to try making all of the yummy looking things that you share!

    Red velvet anything is just too good and the same goes for brownies. Combined, I bet they’re heavenly! Chocolately goodness. Yum.
    Well since it is after all, October, I definitely think that I deserve some of these phenomenal looking brownies. Halloween is at the end of the month and since that means lots of candy and sugary stuff is to come, I should obviously get my tummy ready for the influx of sugar that’s sure to arrive.
    Or something like that :)
