Red Velvet Seven Layer Bars

I love red velvet! I have made red velvet cheesecake, red velvet cake ball and red velvet cookies. If it has red velvet I'm bound to try it. I found this recipe from Red Velvet Lover's Cookbook and I knew it was a must try. If you like red velvet, you will love these. Here is what you will need.

1 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbs Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 C Unsalted Butter, Softened to Room Temperature
3/4 C Sugar
1 Large Egg
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbs Red Food Coloring
1 1/3 C Shredded Coconut
1 C Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 C White Chocolate Chips
1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 C Chopped Pecans


Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl beat butter for 1 min at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat for until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and beat on high until combined. Add your food coloring.

Change the speed on your mixer to slow and add your dry ingredient to your wet slowly. Mix until wet and dry ingredients are combined. Your red velvet dough will be very sticky. With a rubber spatula remove the dough from your bowl and to your baking pan. Work the dough into an even layer  in your pan. Be patient its really sticky.

Bake in the oven for 8 mins. After eight minutes add your coconut followed by your chocolate chips. Then add your condensed milk, followed by your pecans. Put back in the oven to bake until set, usually about 25 mins. Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
