Perfect for the Oscars!

I don't know if you've heard but the Oscars are on tomorrow night.  That means the finest in drinks, apps, and desserts will be served to celebrate the star studded event.  These fudgy red velvet bars with cream cheese glaze are no exception.  They will add tons of glitz and glamour to your spread.  I mean look at how pretty they are:

Dense and not too sweet, with just a hint of cocoa flavor, these bars applaud the most coveted of Southern desserts: red velvet.  The lush but not too rich cream cheese glaze softens their firm texture. Don't get me wrong, the flavor is amazing but what I take away from this dessert is the balance of textures. Cool and creamy meets firm and solid...almost sounds like a movie trailer! You may just be thanking your host when she serves these bars so have your acceptance speech ready.  Trust me, make these bars and you and your guests will feel like stars on the red (velvet) carpet.  Just don't forget your million dollar dress and diamond earrings :)
