How to Make Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies

Ingredients:

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)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Oreos, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, making sure it’s smooth and level.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!

How to Serve Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies

Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra treat. You can also drizzle some chocolate sauce or cream cheese frosting over them for added flavor.

How to Store Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies

To store your brownies, keep them in an airtight container. They can stay fresh at room temperature for about 3-4 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week.

Tips to Make Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies

Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs when you mix them in.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the Oreo cookies gently. This helps keep chunks of cookies intact for added texture.
For an even richer flavor, add a pinch of salt to the batter.

Variation

Try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor. You can also mix in other types of crushed cookies or candies to customize your brownies.
