  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. red food coloring
  • 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 pkg. (1 1/2 oz. each) Milk Chocolate M&M’s Valentine’s Day Mix, divided Cream Cheese
Frosting:
  • 6 oz. brick-style plain cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Red velvet brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 13”x 9” pan with enough parchment paper to overhang edges; set aside. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter in heatproof bowl, set over pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar; let cool slightly.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well to incorporate after each addition. Stir in red food coloring, vinegar and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in half of the M&Ms.
  4. Scrape into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until only a few moist crumbs adhere to toothpick when inserted into center of brownie. Let cool completely on rack.
  5. Cream cheese frosting: Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy; beat in butter until blended. On low speed, beat in icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Using parchment paper as handles, transfer brownies to cutting board and remove parchment paper. Spread frosting over top. Using 2.5-inch heart cookie cutter, cut out 12 hearts (reserve brownie scraps for snacking). Sprinkle with remaining M&M’s.
