Time 55m

Yield 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix (I use Duncan Hines)
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
3 tablespoons water
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix cake mix,1 egg, butter and water in large bowl. This makes a VERY stiff dough. Transfer to prepared pan and pat into an even layer. I strongly recommend using gloves for this step, since the red food coloring in the cake mix will stain.
  • Cream together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add 2 eggs,vanilla and mix until combined. Spread on top of red velvet dough. Bake 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To achieve the vibrant red color, use high-quality red food coloring. Gel food coloring is more concentrated and provides a deeper color compared to liquid food coloring.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • For a fudgier texture, use a combination of unsweetened chocolate and semisweet chocolate. You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting and serving. This will prevent them from crumbling and falling apart.
  • Store the red velvet gooey bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Red velvet gooey bars are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a fudgier or cakier texture, or want to add your favorite mix-ins, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give red velvet gooey bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
