Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies: The Ultimate Fudgy Cake-Mix Bars with Oreo Excellence

These indulgent Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies perfectly balance the iconic crimson cake flavor with chunks of Oreo cookies and sweet white chocolate chips. The fudgy texture and striking color make these brownies an irresistible treat for special occasions or whenever you need a decadent dessert.

 

  • Total Time: 45 minutes (plus cooling time)
  • Yield: 16 brownies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 cookies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal, or grease the pan thoroughly. Proper preparation ensures your brownies won’t stick and will be easy to slice later.
  3. Mix Batter
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients until they form a smooth, thick batter with no dry cake mix visible. The batter will be deeper in color than traditional brownie batter due to the red velvet mix.
  5. Add Mix-Ins
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Don’t overmix at this stage to preserve the cookie chunks and prevent the white chocolate from melting into the batter.
  7. Transfer to Pan
  8. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the batter reaches all corners for even baking.
  9. Bake
  10. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking as this can dry out your brownies.
  11. Cool and Serve
  12. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. For the cleanest cuts, refrigerate for about an hour before slicing. Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, try adding a cream cheese swirl to the top before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a festive holiday version, use seasonal colored Oreos or add festive sprinkles on top.
  • These brownies freeze well for up to 3 months if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
