Discover smart selection, storage and prep tips, plus nutrition information for our Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.
Selection, Storage and Prep
- Typically, bittersweet chocolate is not as sweet as semisweet because it has less sugar and more cocoa solids. So if you have to substitute semisweet, use ¾ semisweet and ¼ unsweetened to compensate.
- These brownies require refrigeration because of the cream cheese icing. But they can be baked ahead of time, tightly covered and stored at room temperature, then iced right before enjoying.
- A metal 9-by-13-inch pan works better than a glass pan for brownies.
Nutrition
- Balance these indulgent treats with a glass of 1% or fat-free milk! You’ll get a protein, calcium and vitamin D boost.
- Using 1/3-less-fat Neufchatel cream cheese helps save a few calories and fat grams.
