“Decadent red wine brownies are happening over here. I gifted these bougie treats to friends as a way to encourage some good old self-care. They were such a huge hit that I’m making them again on New Year’s Eve. In the brownies is @creamfamilywines delicious Cherrycream Pinot Noir. This wine is so wonderful. It’s balanced, mellow, fruity but also grapey. I also like that the bottle is a screw top. It made serving on the fly easy. I got this wine as a gift but I’m so glad I tried it. I get lost in the wine store so having an option I know I like is great. I ended up buying several bottles to give as hostess gifts.” —@njfoodventure

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Whisk dry ingredients (flour and sugar) in a microwave-safe bowl warm butter at 50% power for approximately 30 seconds or until warmed and soft.
  • In a stand mixer beat using the whisk, whisk the butter, then add eggs, egg white, vanilla, and wine until combined.
  • Switch to the paddle attachment and combine the dry ingredient allowing some of the dry ingredients to not mix all the way through.
  • Fold in chocolate chips which will incorporate all the dry ingredients together without over mixing.
