Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

Hi there! It’s Kelly from Typically Simple and I am back with a seriously yummy treat recipe! If only computers had scratch and sniff abilities because the delicious, chocolately smell of these red velvet cheesecake brownies baking in the oven would make your mouth water. But since they are so easy to make, you can just whip up a batch in your own kitchen!

Hearing the words red velvet and cheesecake in one recipe had me a little nervous, since I’m all about quick and simple recipes like these No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Bites. Never in my life have I tried making red velvet anything, but after reading through the recipe a few times, it became quite clear that these brownies were a lot simpler than the name made them seem.

t’s no secret around here that I have a major sweet tooth. Especially for baked goods! And I am a huge fan of any recipe that has more than one type of dessert all wrapped up into one treat. So when a recipe combines THREE types of desserts, I just knew it was one that I had to try! Inspired by the recipe over at Sally’s Baking Addictions, I grabbed some ingredients, a few baking supplies, and got to work
