Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Mix in the egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
  • Spread 3/4 of the red velvet batter into the prepared pan.
  • In a new bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
  • Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the red velvet layer.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the remaining red velvet batter on top of the cheesecake. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  • Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
