"i saw sunny make these brownies the other day and immediately wanted to try them myself. i was afraid of adding so much dye, but they came out perfectly red, and no one had bright red stained mouths. i used a metal nonstick pan and mine needed an extra 7 minutes of cooking time as well. i would also recommend refrigerating them before serving, because after i refrigerated the leftover brownies they were even better! these replicated a boxed version of red velvet cake (which is the only kind i've had) very well, and were the best cream cheese brownies i've ever had. this recipe is definitely a keeper. thanks sunny!
