Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press approximately two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking pan, creating an even base layer that covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the dough base, creating a consistent layer of chocolate chips.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the white chocolate chips, creating a rustic, uneven top layer that allows some chocolate chips to peek through.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top appears slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour at room temperature.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve and enjoy the rich, decadent Red Velvet Oreo Fudge Bars!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is fully melted but not hot when mixing with the cake mix to ensure a perfect dough consistency.
- For extra crunch, roughly crush the Oreos instead of finely grinding them - this adds texture to your bars.
- Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and clean cutting of your bars.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
- For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each slice.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For an extra touch, dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
