VALENTINES RED VELVET BROWNIES
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
This luscious dessert,
Is especially for you.
I don't know what more I can say to describe just why this is the perfect dessert for Valentines Day. Red Velvet cake brownie topped with white chocolate ganache and a Jammy Dodger this gooey sticky delight is sure to put a smile on the face of your loved one.
The secret is very simple... use a cake box mix for the base to save oodles of time and nail the brownie base. And no it's not cheating. I've spoken to a number of wedding cake makers who have confirmed that they use several cake box mixes when making their creations... so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for the shack!

Mix up the cake box mix following the instructions but as above you can sub some of the ingredients for an extra moist cake. See Jack's Hacks below to see how it's done.
