Yes, you heard me right... Red velvet bars. Whoever thought that there was something more to red velvet than just cupcakes? These bars are just as portable and delectable as those cupcakes. The bottom layer is made of a thicker, brownie like consistency of red velvet while the top is a cheesecake layer. Red velvet cupcakes are normally topped with cream cheese frosting, and that combination is unbeatable, so why change it? This top layer is similar to that on top of cream cheese brownies... basically cheesecake, but no refrigeration required. We watched the premiere of Dexter at a friend's house tonight (which was amazing, btw), and I baked these for the host because red velvet cupcakes are his favorite. His reaction? He was absolutely delighted and couldn't stop eating them. This recipe is a keeper, that's for sure.

For Cake:

1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
1 ounce red food coloring (recommended: McCormick)
For Cream Cheese Layer:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened (recommended: Philadelphia)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (recommended: McCormick)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 baking pan lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer on low speed, cake mix, butter, egg, and food
coloring until combined. Press cake mixture into prepared pan; set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and
vanilla, beat to combine. Spread cream cheese mixture over cake layer.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until bars barely start to pull away from sides. Cool completely before cutting.
Thanks for the recipe! I just bought a box of Greman cake mix, so this is on the dessert menu for this weekend!
