This recipe for Red Velvet Brownies is a nice dense, chewy brownie made the easy way from a box of Red Velvet cake mix! These red velvet cake mix brownies are just perfect for Valentine's Day, or really any time of year!
I'd cut them into 9 squares and then cut each square in half or even in quarters! It's the frosting on top that really makes it sweet! But it's good.
Why we love this Red Velvet Brownies Recipe
I’m so excited to participate in this Valentine’s event (again). This is the fifth year for our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.
Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%. It’s such a small number and that’s why I got involved.
And with the ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer. It’s imperative that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research!
Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids' Cancer!
Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: OXO, Mediavine amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!

Directions for how to make Red Velvet Brownies
Firstly, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8x8 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Then add your cake mix, oil and eggs in a bowl and mix well by hand.
The batter will be very stiff so use a strong spoon! Continue to mix until combined well.

Once cooled, make frosting.

Add sweetened condensed milk and mix well.
If mixture isn't smooth, return to the microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power and mix until smooth.
