Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for pan)
Red Velvet Brownie Layer:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 eggs
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Cream cheese layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter the bottom of an 8 by 8 baking pan. To start the brownie layer, in a saucepan melt the butter. Remove the butter to a large bowl and add sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, salt, food coloring, and vinegar – in that order, mixing between additions. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and stir into the cocoa mix. Fold in the flour until lightly combined. Stir in the walnuts and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Set aside ¼ cup of the batter for the top.

For the cream cheese layer, blend together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla in a bowl. Gently spread the cream cheese layer on top of the brownie batter in the pan. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over cream cheese layer. Using the tip of a knife, drag the tip through the cream cheese mixture to create a swirl pattern. Bake the brownies for 30 minutes. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting!

Give to your Valentine & enjoy!
