Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line an 8×8 baking pan with heavy-duty foil and lightly grease it.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips together until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted mixture with eggs, sugars, salt, vanilla extract, and red food coloring; whisk until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder; gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While cooling, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy; gradually mix in confectioners' sugar until desired sweetness is reached.
Once brownies are cool, frost with the cream cheese mixture.
