Author Notes

The original recipe comes from my all-time favorite cookbook; I adapted this by switching out the White Cake Mix initially called for to a Red Velvet one, which I think is the main reason why these bars taste so good! During the summertime, I love delivering small batches of these treats to my neighbors and close friends. —Swara Bhatt
