Ingredients for Red Velvet Brownies Fudgy

Gather these items:

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

How to Make Red Velvet Brownies Fudgy Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting; lightly grease.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate until smooth. Whisk in the granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and white vinegar. Add the red gel food coloring and mix until a vibrant, even red hue is achieved throughout the wet mixture.
Step 3: In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined, breaking up any lumps.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to your wet ingredients, mixing gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 5: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into your lined 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Step 6: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire cooling rack. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for 1 to 2 hours. Once fully cooled, lift the slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhangs, slice into squares, and serve.
