For your sweet Valentine's No.4: Red Velvet Brownies

What is your plan for tomorrow ? ^^ As it's Valentine's day, If you still don't have any idea you might love this one.

This is one of the recipes that many people ask for "Red Velvet Brownies". With red and white color, this brownie is so cute. Actually, it's a cocoa brownie with cream cheese topping, but we make it special by adding red food coloring. For the red color, it depends on what kind of color that you use, I use extra red, so I need only 1/2 tsp of it (and you can see that mine is sooooooo red ^^). 
For myself, I don't have any plan, haha. But I still don't want to stop the sweetness of this month, so the sweet recipe will go on until the end of February (and I hope you enjoy the ideas). 

Note: Don't forget to let the brownie cool completely before cutting, so you will get a clean cut.
