Description

Deliciously decadent Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies featuring a moist red velvet base, a buttery Oreo crumb layer, and a rich milk chocolate ganache topped with mini chocolate chips. Perfect for chocolate lovers looking for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box (18.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs

Oreo Crust

  • 1 package (about 36) whole Oreos
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Chocolate Ganache Topping

  • 1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips (about 1.5 cups)
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 bag (12 oz) mini chocolate chips (about 1.5 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil and coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. In a mixing bowl, beat together the red velvet cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 2 eggs until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Press this batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until just set—be careful not to overbake. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Create the Oreo Crust: Crush the whole Oreos finely by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin or by pulsing them in a food processor until fine crumbs form. In a bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs thoroughly with the remaining 1/2 cup melted butter until well combined. Evenly pour this Oreo mixture over the baked red velvet brownie base and gently press into an even layer.
  3. Make the Chocolate Ganache: Place the milk chocolate chips into a medium bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream to a low boil either on the stovetop or in the microwave, then pour the hot cream over the milk chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to sit untouched for 5 minutes to soften the chocolate, then whisk until the ganache is completely smooth and thick. Pour the ganache evenly over the Oreo layer.
  4. Add Mini Chocolate Chips and Chill: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the chocolate ganache layer. Place the entire baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for 30-45 minutes to allow the ganache to set up firmly. Once set, cut the brownies into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the red velvet brownie base to keep it moist and tender.
  • For easier cutting, chill the brownies thoroughly so the ganache firms up properly.
  • You can substitute dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for the milk chocolate if preferred.
  • Store any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Ensure heavy cream is heated but not boiling vigorously to avoid scorching the ganache.
