Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box (18 1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix (recommended: Betty Crocker)
1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
1 ounce red food coloring (recommended: McCormick)
16 ounces cream cheese, softened (recommended: Philadelphia)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (recommended: McCormick)

Steps:

  • Set up grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Spray 9 by 13-inch foil pan with cooking spray; 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.
  • Place foil pan in a second foil pan for stability and insulation. Place on hot grill away from heat. Cover and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Rotate pan halfway through baking.
  • Remove from grill and cool completely before cutting.
  • INDOOR: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 by13-inch baking pan lightly with cooking spray; set aside. Prepare bars as directed. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until bars barely start to pull away from sides. Cool completely before cutting.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect red velvet color, use a combination of red food coloring and cocoa powder. Start with a small amount of food coloring and add more as needed until you reach the desired shade.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for even baking. If you use a smaller pan, the bars will be thicker and may not cook through properly.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will dry out the bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the frosted bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These red velvet gooey bars are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich red color, creamy filling, and chocolate ganache topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these bars a try!
