Red Velvet Brownies image

These are the most delicious brownies and so sinfully rich, that I cut them in small squares about 1" x 1" and place them on Christmas cookie trays. The texture is a cross between a brownie and almost fudge-like consistancy. You won't be disappointed! Originally cut from a magazine (Paula Deen, I think).
