I saw these red velvet bars on a recent episode of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. I gave them a try and I thought they ended up tasting really good. The cake part has the same texture as a brownie and they tasted exactly like a cheesecake brownie. They were so easy to make. I cut the recipe in half and baked them for 42 minutes.
