INGREDIENTS
- Red velvet cake mix: 1 box (15.25 oz), provides a rich, chewy base for the brownies
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, melted, adds moisture and richness
- Eggs: 2 large, helps bind the batter and add structure
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, enhances the flavors
- White chocolate chips: 1 cup, adds creamy sweetness
- Oreo cookies: 1 cup crushed (about 10-12 cookies), for crunchy texture and cookies-and-cream flavor
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2:
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Step 3:
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies until they are evenly distributed in the batter.
- Step 4:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 5:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve these brownies at room temperature for the best texture. They’re perfect for sharing at parties or as a dessert after dinner.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them to extend freshness.
Helpful Notes
- For a more intense cookies-and-cream flavor, sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of the brownie batter before baking.
- To add a touch of extra richness, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the cooled brownies.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chef Martha Stewart suggests using parchment paper with overhanging edges when lining the baking pan. This makes it easy to lift the brownies out of the pan for cutting.
