Ingredients

For brownies:

  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 c. cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. red food coloring
  • 1 tsp. vinegar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 c. flour

For frosting:

  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 1 - 3 oz. package cream cheese softened
  • 2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 - 7 oz. container marshmallow fluff

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt entire 1 cup butter (half will go to the brownies, half to the frosting).
  • Continue cooking the butter on medium heat until it turns golden brown and forms brown flecks, about 6-8 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning on the bottom.
  • Allow butter to cool for about 5 minutes.

To prepare brownies:

  • Divide the browned butter in half, and pour one of the halves into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, red food coloring, and vinegar to the mixing bowl, and mix until blended.
  • Add in the eggs, and mix until well-incorporated.
  • Add in the flour, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

For frosting:

  • In a small mixing bowl, pour remaining browned butter.
  • Beat in cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold in marshmallow fluff.
  • Spread onto cooled brownies. Enjoy!
