Notes

  • You can store any leftovers of your red velvet brownies in an airtight container on your counter at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can store them in your fridge in an airtight container and they will last 5-7 days.
  • If you want to freeze these brownies, I would recommend wrapping them individually and placing them in a freezer safe bag and they will last in your freezer for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat you can, thaw the brownies to fridge temperature and you can microwave your brownies for a few seconds until warm.
