red beet brownies.



a strong rooty smell
awaits you if you breath in strongly.

do not be detoured.

the rich, powerful dark red
gushes into the batter.

it turns a bright fuchsia.

the warm melted chocolate
flows into the composition,
a deep brownish red emerges.

...

this melange of red beet juice
and dark bitter chocolate
makes for a moist, special brownie variation.

decorate with some powdered sugar,
a chocolate curl
or leave it as it is
in it's simplicity.
