Can you add green food coloring to brownie mix?

Yes, you can add green food coloring directly to brownie mix. Stir it in after combining the wet ingredients so the color spreads evenly.

What are the three types of brownies?

The three main types include fudgy, cakey, and chewy brownies. Green Velvet Brownies fall between fudgy and cakey, which gives them a soft but structured bite.

What is a red velvet brownie?

A red velvet brownie blends cocoa flavor with red food coloring and often includes cream cheese frosting. Green Velvet Brownies follow the same idea but use green coloring instead.

Are Red Velvet Brownies better than regular?

It depends on taste. Some people love the mild cocoa flavor and creamy frosting of velvet style brownies. Others prefer classic plain brownies.

Green Velvet Brownies Ultimate Festive Treat

Description

A festive, eye catching twist on classic brownies, these Green Velvet Brownies bake up rich, fudgy, and lightly cakey, then get topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting. They come together fast with melted chocolate and butter, and the bright green batter makes them perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, holidays, and party trays. Slice into 16 squares, add sprinkles if you want, and serve once fully cooled for clean cuts and the best texture.

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F and line a 9 inch square pan with foil, lightly greasing it.

2. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

3. Stir in the sugar, then mix in the eggs one at a time.

4. Add the flour, green coloring, baking powder, vanilla, and salt, mixing just until combined.

5. Spread batter in the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 44 to 48 minutes. Cool completely.

6. Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then blend in the powdered sugar and salt. Mix in the vanilla.

7. Lift the cooled brownies from the pan, frost the top, cut into 16 squares, and add sprinkles if desired.

Notes

A metal pan helps the brownies bake evenly.

Using the whole bottle of coloring makes the brightest green.

Bittersweet chocolate can replace chocolate chips if chopped finely.

Cut brownies keep 1 to 2 days in an airtight container; uncut brownies keep up to 4 days.

Unfrosted brownies can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before frosting and slicing.
