BAKE MODE:
Prevent your screen from going dark while you bake.
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) pan and line with parchment paper.
Melt 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) butter and 3/4 cup (175 mL) chocolate chips in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until butter and chocolate are combined. Whisk in sugar until smooth.
Remove sugar mixture from heat and whisk in eggs. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla and food colouring, followed by 1/2 cup (125 mL) chocolate chips. Pour batter into 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some crumbs clinging. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Cut cooled brownies into 12 squares. Flip brownies, smooth side up; set aside onto parchment lined baking sheet.
Make frosting by beating cream cheese with remaining butter until smooth. Beat in icing sugar gradually until light and fluffy.
Pipe cream cheese icing evenly over brownies. Decorate with remaining chocolate chips.
Use leftover brownie pieces to top ice cream sundaes, or use these brownies to make ice cream sandwiches!
