Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies
These four layer cake mix brownies start with a layer of ultra soft red velvet brownies, but are taken to the next level with Oreo truffle filling, then topped with sinfully rich chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips. Total heaven in every bite!!
These Red Velvet Brownies are the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day or Christmas! Just look how rich and thick and fudgy they are!!
These cake mix brownies seriously could not be easier to make. This is all you need!
Easiest Red Velvet Brownies Made From Cake Mix
The brownie base for these bars starts with a Red Velvet cake mix, but feel free to make your own red velvet brownies from scratch.
Personally I think these cake mix brownies are so insanely good. So dense and rich and fudgy!
To make brownies from a cake mix, add 1/2 cup melted butter to the red velvet cake mix or any cake mix flavor of your choice.
Then addd two eggs…
And beat until smooth, thick, and decadent.
Press into the bottom of a well-coated 9×13 baking dish. I like to line my dish with foil to make the bars easier to get out. Try my trick that makes lining a pan with foil SO much easier.
Bake the red velvet brownies at 350 degrees F for 15-18 mins until just set and edges are crackly. You definitely don’t want to overcook these bars! They will fully set up as they cool.
Now, you could totally stop here and you would have delicious, thick, chewy red velvet brownies. So easy!! But we’re going to send these OVER THE TOP with an Oreo Truffle Topping!!
Oreo Truffle Layer for Red Velvet Brownies
Next you’ll need one package of WHOLE Oreos. :)
Crush them in a ziploc bag or food processor until you have mostly fine crumbs.
Next mix the crumbs with 1/2 cup melted butter until well combined.
Pour them on top of the baked brownies…
And gently press down.
Chocolate Ganache Topping for Red Velvet Brownies
Next bring 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to a low boil and pour over 1.5 cups of chocolate chips (that’s approximately one bag). I used milk chocolate chips, but you could use any kind of chocolate chip you like. Even white chocolate! Let the chips sit for 5 minutes then whisk to combine until smooth and thick.
Immediately pour over the Oreo truffle layer. Love love love these insane red velvet brownies!!
Finally top with 1 bag of mini chocolate chips, then refrigerate for 30-45 mins to let the ganache set up a bit before cutting into bars. However if you want to dive right in immediately with a spoon, I would never judge.
These are seriously the best red velvet brownies I’ve ever had.
If you have someone in your life who loves red velvet cake, you have to make these red velvet brownies for them! They will love you forever!

Absolutely amazing and irresistible
Hi, I’m so excited to try this recipe. One question though: Would the quality of the brownies change if I make the red velvet cake layer from scratch?
Most amazing dessert I’ve had that you make at home. My girls ask for these as their go-to celebratory dessert. I make them in a smaller pan so the red velvet layer is a little thicker, and it comes out perfect.
My favorite everrrr
my layers all fell apart once i cut into them and i let it sit overnight. i’ve made these before and it was fine, but just wondering what i did wrong this time.
Hello! I just wanted to reach out for clarification. In one part of the instructions, it say to mix 1 cup of melted butter with the crushed Oreos. When I did that, I had to add almost half of another pack of Oreos and it still wasn’t thickening. Further down in the article, another set of instructions says to mix the crushed Oreos with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Should it have been the 1/2 cup of melted butter I went with? Regardless, it smells amazing and I just may keep them as brownies! But should I try again with the Oreos, I want to make sure I do it correctly.
Hi love your recipe!I have a quick question. If the oven does not work can we microwave the batter? I googled it and they say u can but just want to see if you ever tried it. Thank you
I have never tried it!
Hi, i loved it! Made a few times ??.. but why the red velvet and oreo layers when cut it’s separated. It’s like the layers not well combined. Not attached together.
Do you think these would freeze well? I want half now and half for a dinner party in a few weeks!
I haven’t frozen them yet, but I think they would be fine! If you try it, let us know how it turns out!! :)
Ok, for one, I made these a couple years ago from a different site and they are pretty tasty. So much in fact I decided to search it again to make for work. A helpful suggestion: when giving step-by-step instructions on how to make it while scrolling down, make sure it matches up with the instructions at the bottom. Scrolling down to the part between the pictures where you say to “Next mix the crumbs with 1 cup melted butter until well combined.” (copy and pasted), well at the bottom of the page with the listed instructions, it says to pour 1/2 cup of meted butter into the Oreo mix. I went with the 1st one. Was wondering went it looked creamier than that picture. Turns out I used a full cup instead of the 1/2 cup. Might want to fix that before someone does the same thing. Should taste pretty rich now! Lol
I just did the same thing *face palm* lol. I shoulda read the comments first. Trial and error! Lol.
I’ve made these a couple times and they are AMAZING. However, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to wait until the brownies have cooled completely before I add the Oreo layer. Every time I’ve added the Oreos, the brownies collapse in the middle a bit. They always turn out delicious, but I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Thanks. :)
If I make the red velvet brownies from scratch, is the cook time the same for the brownies (15-18 min) or should I go by the cook time in the recipe for the homemade brownies provided (44-48 min)?
Eeeeek! In the top part of the how too it says melt one cup butter over Oreo. The bottom says 1/2. I used a full cup!
I hope they still come out okay! :(
I did the exact same thing. They were just so much gooeyer and I think gave someone a heart attack.
Did the same, lol. Did they still come out okay? Trying to decide if I should start all over or toss them.
Do I add the oil from the cake mix and the butter?
I wondered this too. I didn’t, and I’m making them now. Should I?!
Best method to store these? Fridge or room temp?
Made it today. They are very good. I was concerned that the box cake mix directions didn’t match the recipe but I follwed the recipe. I can’t remembe the last time i used a book mix, but for this recipei I se no need to make the red valvet cake from scratch, with all of the chocolate ganache and chocolate on top and Oreos I think it would be a waste of energy to bake it from scratch. I will save this one.
Tried white chocolate for the ganache layer, and it didn’t set up. Dark chocolate worked perfectly!
If you over heated or boiled the cream, it won’t set up…you have to just get it to a start of a bubble or it charges the compound of the cream
White chocolate is a lot softer than dark chocolate. If using white chocolate I’d recommend 2:1 ratio of white chocolate to cream. Just my suggestion
Where do you get red velvet cake with 18.25 oz. all the ones I see are 15.25 oz.
These look amazing and so would a hot Pink mixer with n my kitchen!! Really need a new mixer sure would love ? to win one!!
Definitely going to make these they look sooo delicious
Wow these look so delicious! I love the idea of the foil at the bottom. Can’t wait to make them for Valentines Day!!
For the mini chocolate chips, do we use semisweet or milk chocolate? The recipe doesn’t say….
These were so good! Would they do well by making ahead and freezing?
These are so delish however, as a warning, middle of the recipe under the picture where you mix Oreos with melted butter states 1 cup melted butter but this is too much. I think it’s supposed to read as add m the remaining of the cup of melted butter, so a half cup. Can fix with more oreos if you have them, learned the hard way. Otherwise these are so amazing.
I would LOVE to win the mixer! I I love baking, but it goes a little slower without a great mixer like this one!
I’m making these brownies today for my family party, so I will get to taste how delicious they are/look.
Could I half these for an 8×8 pan?
Made these for my boyfriend and he was in heaven. They were a big hit at thanksgiving too. I highly recommend :)
I am in the process of making these and I agree with previous posts – the butter measurement must be off. I had to use an entire second package of crushed oreos to soak up all the additional butter. 1 stick of butter per 1 package of oreos is the correct amount. I’m continuing on with the recipe- wish me luck!
These are so good and not hard to make! They are delicious and perfect for a party or anything! I 10/10 recommend these brownies!
These look amazing! I would love to win the giveaway & then make these brownies!
Just wanted to let you know I linked your recipe page from the blog back to my post. Happy Valentine’s Day!
About to make these now so they will be ready for us to have as dessert after our Valentine’s Day Dinner here at home! Been drooling over these for about a week now! Will let you know how they turn out. ;) Next I will be trying to Peanut Butter no cream cheese pie you have posted! Love your Blog doing an awesome job :)
BTW: Love the color on the kitchenaid :) haven’t ever seen one that color! Gorgeous!
Amanda, these look awesome!!!! Love the color of the mixer….fingered crossed!!! Happy Valentine’s day!!!
Cant wait to try making these!!!! How long do they last? Are they better stored at room temp or in the fridge?
does this work with other cake mixes? like, for instance, yellow cake, or angel food?
Making tonight! Yummmm! ??
This recipe looks absolutely delicious, I will have to make these, and I would love to win the Kitchen Aid mixer, I would really like to own one,to make some incredible desserts.
I would love to win the mixer, I wanna know when you are gonna give away that oven!
THIS is what they mean by decadence…yummmmm! I have featured this amazing recipe in the Absolute Best Brownie Recipe Roundup over at dreamingofleaving.com! Keep those yummy ideas coming :) xo
I love raspberries and chocolate~sounds delicious
I haven’t yet tried however….anticipating
Hello Amanda,
I cannot seem to find chocolate chips in Uganda. What else can i use as a substitute?
Hi Amanda:
Help please…I can’t find where to enter to win the mixer.
Thanks so much!
These were so good! I had to use a white cake because I could not find red velvet but they were delicious. Everyone loved them and i will definitely be making them again. Thank you for the recipe
Do you think you could use cream cheese in place of the chocolate ganache?
Like a cream cheese frosting? I’m sure you could. I’ve never done it though. Good luck! :)
I cannot wait to sink my teeth into one or more of these…..it looks devine!!! Would like to win the mixer :) :) :)
This looks yummy but how old is this recipe? Red Velvet cake mixes have not weighed 18.25 os. for a couple of years–16.5 oz. now. How would you adjust the recipe to accommodate the smaller mix?
Thanks
I have always wanted one of these mixers…love the color too!
Planning on making these tomorrow! Does it matter if the butter is salted or unsalted?
These brownies are beyond AMAZING! I have made them twice already for two different occasions and everybody RAVES about them! Thank you for such a great recipe!
So I’m making these as we speak! I just added the butter to the Oreo’s and I have a gooy mess?! It is really runny. I’m not sure what I did wrong! I crushed a whole thing of Oreo’s and melted two sticks of butter. What kid of butter did you use? Any suggestions?
I don’t think I’m going to be able to handle these! But I’ll try! Thanks for sharing!
I have not made these but would love to. My mixer broke so I could use a new one and Raspberry is a beautiful color.
I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but have you made these brownies with semi-sweet chocolate chips?
2 egg whites vs the yolks, canola oil vs the 1/2 butter and possibly soy milk instead of heavy cream may work too.
I made these and when cut, had a problem with the Oreo crumb layer not staying on top of the red velvet cake. Anyone else have this issue? They were good, but the separation of the Oreo layer was a bit of a disappointment.
Hi Gigi, I had the same problem. I think it’s because the butter measurement is wrong. I don’t think we’re supposed to use 1 cup of butter for the Oreos. I had so much butter coming out of the Oreos I had to soak them up with napkin.
Just thinking of all of the things I can make with this beautiful mixer!!!
Hi, I honestly have to say this is one of the most beautiful brownies I have ever look at! Unbelievably the work of an “Artist” ! Simply V-Day…… I would love to share this with my 82 year old father-in-law who is now my employer I just became his full time caregiver. I have the desire to spread kindness since I was blessed with caring for my parents and sister before they moved on to join the Lord! Wow! What a great brownie can do!!!!
OMG, how people can make it such beautifully. I appreciate it. I will try it.
MADE THEM! OMG DELISH!!!!!! I brought them to my daughters day care teachers and to my coworkers. (We may or may not be eating them right now for breakfast!) Thank you for the recipe!
Making these right now! I’ll let you know how they turn out. Only one problem. I ate too many of my Oreos while baking that I had to open up another pack I had set aside for Oreo balls! Oops! Haha
I am dying for these brownies!!! Oh my word, these look too good!
Making them this weekend for a church fellowship dinner! Can’t wait to try them.
Oh my!!! These look amazing!! I have to share this recipe with my fellow sweet tooth friends. Red velvet and Oreos and brownies.. my goodness!!! Thank you for sharing!!
another person here with a question about the butter amount!
All those brownies need are a big glass of cold milk! That KA would make be happy just to look at.
WOW! Those brownies look like the most delicious decadent! treat Red Velvet + Chocolately Brownie = HEAVEN!! I wish I could do that for Valentines Day! Thanks for such an amazing opportunity to win a KitchenAid Mixer…that raspberry color tho! I don’t even own a mixer, so I always whip stuff with my whisk, which is easy with melted butter, but not so much when you have to cream butter and powdered sugar! so I cant make all your yummy recipes :( …if I ever would be so lucky to have one I could make every recipe on this blog!!!! :’) Love your recipes and travel pics! I’m following on pinterest, facebook, instagram, and twitter! <3

HELP!! I am making these brownies right now. The step by step shows 1.5 cups of butter (1/2 in batter, 1 in oreo mexture). The recipe says 3/4 cup butter, divided. Am I over buttering in the truffle layer using 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter?
Definitely trying this one!!! Sounds amazing!
Amazing. Pinned ?
This looks fantastic. I’m definitely trying these!
Oh my heart – I am drooling, over both the brownies and the mixer! I wonder which one I’ll dream about tonight? Thanks for the opportunity to make the brownies and to win the mixer!
These look so delicious! I LOVE the color of this mixer…and so would my sister who I would give it to if I won. Thanks for the chance to win. :)
I will second the question on the butter amount!
Which is correct? I’ve got all the ingredients ready to go!
Raspberry is my all time favorite flavor, it would be great to make it my favorite color on my favorite mixer.
This look delicious!
Today is a freezing snow covered day in Pa. This delicious,cool raspberry mixer reminds me of the vibrant colors of spring and summer to come (hopefully sooner than the groundhog predicted)!
These brownies look so good, we want to try tomorrow! That is a good question from GiGi about the butter – please check the amounts! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Question about the Butter…the recipe says ‘3/4 cup butter’ divided. But the caption under the photos uses 1/2 cup melted butter in the cake mix and 1 cup of melted butter in the crushed Oreos. Which is correct?
Awesome recipe to add to my try list! Thanks for the giveaway, great color!!
I think these will be my husbands new favorite!!! ?
can not wait to make these!! Yum!!
They look wonderful.
Definitely will be making these on Vacation with my family and best friend at the end of this month! I have had this dream mixer on my wishlist for a while now. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
