This is microwaved brownie in a mug with red wine! Say what? Yes, you can have your own brownie in about 2 minutes, and it has your favorite red wine IN IT!

Don’t worry, it’s just a little…just enough to give it a sophisticated depth of flavor.

The fact that it is ready in 2 minutes…well, that is maybe a little bit scary. It might be a chocolate problem, if you know what I mean.

Make this for your sweetie for Valentine’s Day, because we all know V-Day isn’t a thing without some red wine and chocolate. Chocolate and red wine go together like…a kiss and a hug. Might as well get them in the same recipe! And pour a little glass of the same red wine to sip while you eat your brownie. They go well together.

Brownie in a Mug with Red Wine on a red placemat on ShockinglyDelicious.com I had a bottle of affordable Beaujolais Nouveau already opened, so I used that, but you can use any red wine you like with this recipe.
