Red Wine Brownies with Red Wine Glaze

It doesn’t get any better than deep dark chocolate and red wine. I made this one night when my daughter was visiting and she laughed and said, “you really do like boozy food”. So now I have a new favorite saying for when I add wine to any of my cooking – Boozy Food! And, by the way, you’ll find a lot of “boozy treats” on my site. You might also like Prosecco Cupcakes, Pink Champagne Cupcakes or Red Wine Hot Chocolate.

Trust me when I tell you that the red wine in the brownie mix really brings out the deep flavors of the chocolate. And this glaze it to die for with a real tang of red wine mixed with sweet confectioners sugar. And if you are wondering what to drink with this delicious treat, it’s easy, red wine of course.
