Notes
- Store these blood-red brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their fudgy texture.
- For a warm, gooey bite, microwave a brownie square for 10-15 seconds before indulging.
- Serve these "Vampire Bite" brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of raspberry sauce for extra decadence.
- Don't overmix the batter – gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together to ensure a tender, melt-in-your-mouth brownie.
