Tips for Red Velvet Cake Mix Brownies
- Line your pan with parchment paper so you can easily lift the brownies out of the pan
- Try to mix or fold in the ingredients. A hand mixer will over-mix the batter and make it tough.
- DO NOT OVER-BAKE or they will come dry! They should look a bit undercooked in the middle
