• Unsalted butter, melted: makes the brownies gooey and rich look for butter with a creamy taste for the best batch
• All purpose flour: gives these sticks their chewy feel don’t pack the flour if you want them fudgy not fluffy
• Powdered sugar: sweetens the dip and keeps it smooth sift it to get rid of any lumps
• Red food coloring: gives the brownies that wow red shade gel coloring works best for a bold color
• Granulated sugar: delivers all the moisture and sweetness go for fine sugar so it blends out
• Heavy cream: makes the dip airy and light use a good thick cream for extra fluffiness
• Large eggs: make sure your brownies set up thick and hold together always use fresh eggs for even baking
• Vanilla extract: adds sweet smells and finishes both brownie and dip pure vanilla works so much better than fake
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: gives these sticks that hint of chocolate classic red velvet should have Dutch process for deep flavor

Drop in the Eggs:

Add your eggs one by one, mixing in each well so you keep everything creamy and get brownies that turn out chewy
