Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp red food coloring (add more for greater coloring)
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ melted chocolate
- Powdered sugar (optional topping)
Directions:
- In a bowl add your melted butter, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and mix together by hand or with an electric beater at medium speed.
- After blended, add in your cocoa powder, and your red food coloring to personal hue preference. Continue to mix.
- When your batter has its new red tint you can add in your flour.
- Once your batter is ready simply spoon it into your ungreased Holstein Heart-Shaped brownie maker and bake for 7 minutes.
- Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or a small pan placed over a pot of gently simmering water. Be sure to stir the mixture constantly. Butter and chocolate may also be melted together in a microwave, stirring the mixture every 20 to 30 seconds.
- Pour the melted chocolate on your finished brownies, dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy!
Baker’s Secrets:
Melting the butter instead of creaming it with sugar will give you a fudgier brownie, and red food coloring gel creates a brighter, bolder hue than liquid colorings.
