Ingredients

    Brownies:
    1 (4-oz.) bittersweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
    3/4 cup butter
    2 cups sugar
    4 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 (1-oz.) bottle red liquid food coloring
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/8 tsp salt

    Frosting:
    1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
    3 Tbsp butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1/8 tsp salt
    1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Brownies:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil.

Microwave chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Whisk in sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Gently stir in flour and next 4 ingredients. Pour mixture into prepared pan.

Bake at 350° for 44 to 48 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours).

Lift brownies from pan, using foil sides as handles; gently remove foil. Spread Small-Batch Cream Cheese Frosting on top of brownies, and cut into 16 squares. Garnish, if desired.


Frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and salt, beating until blended. Stir in vanilla.
