Red Velvet Swirl Brownies
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."
