Holidays, Happy Valentine’s Day Red Velvet Brownies
HH & I celebrated Valentine’s Day last weekend
He brought me roses, so incredibly sweet…
and I “glammed” them up with some foil heart garland inside the vase and around the blooms
It was mild enough outside for some Valentine crafts
Even CC, not quite 2, had to bring Valentines to her school this week
We will be celebrating HHjr’s Valentine birthday tomorrow [you can see this Valentine table here]
We are also going to have some Mardi Gras fun~
No matter what your plans are you want to be sure to have some treats on hand
These Valentine Cheese Muffins are always a hit
You can always score big with chocolate caramel covered potato chips and other forms of Man Bait
Whip up some Ice Cream Cake Parfaits with frozen pound cake, ice cream and chocolate sauce
Make an easy Ice Cream Sundae Pie
I decided to make some Red Velvet Brownies from foodfanatic here
You can whip these cheesecake topped brownie treats in no time
There are 2 layers, a thick batter made with cake mix, and a cheesecake topping
Starting from upper left, going clockwise, mix the cake mix with 1 egg, 1 stick melted butter and 1 T water. Then make the topping by beating the cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg and vanilla. Spread the thick cake mix batter in a greased 9″ x 13″ pan
Drop the cheesecake topping on in spoonfuls and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and swirl topping and cake layers with the tip of a sharp knife, lower right. Return to oven until just set, about 20 minutes. Do not over bake or brownies will be dry

Be Still My Red Velvet Heart! Your Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies look oh so tempting Jenna and one for breakfast for Valentine’s Day would be a perfect and sweet start the for the weekend! We were able to get outdoors last weekend too like your Valentine crafters but the temperatures have taken a nose dive today….Brrrrr! Hope you’re warm and cozy this weekend. ♥
Oh Jenna those brownies look so so good! Love the idea of using the red velvet cake and that topping baked in has to be soooo good! How lucky you are to be able to go outside and enjoy some time with the grandkids! We’re going through a real temperature freeze here and only expect a high of 1 on Valentine’s Day! Outdoor activity will be limited- although I believe we’ll be heading out for a dinner. Your roses are beautiful and I love the fancy center arrangement on the table and that plate with the bow!
Thanks Liz, I just can’t imagine dealing with all that snow and cold~ hope you stay warm and cozy for Valentine’s Day and have a wonderful dinner~
Tomorrow is also my daughter’s birthday. My husband always says that she was the best Valentine’s Day gift he ever received. Happy Birthday to your son!
oh my goodness Jill, that is the sweetest thing ever! Have a fun birthday Valentines!
