To make Red Velvet Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

To make the crust, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
To make the filling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Pour the filling over the crust and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Red Velvet Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The crust is buttery and crumbly, while the filling is rich and velvety. The bright red color of the bars makes them a beautiful addition to any dessert table. These bars are perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays.
