These Red Velvet Brownies with Cake Mix could not be easier to make! These rich red velvet brownies are fudgy and delicious...no one will ever guess they are made from a boxed mix! Whip them up with zero fuss!
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray (such as Pam).
Mix: To a large bowl, add cake mix, eggs and oil. With a wooden spoon, stir until all dry cake mix is completely incorporated into the batter. The batter will be very thick! Note: I do not recommened using an electric mixer given the batter is super thick--a wooden spoon works just fine!
Pour & Spread: Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan. Then, with a small spatula or butter knife sprayed with cooking spray, gently spread batter into the pan in an even layer.
Sprinkle: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out almost clean. It's OK to under bake slightly, the brownies will continue to cook when they come out of the oven. Remember, every oven is different, so bake times may vary slightly. Begin checking the brownies at about the 15-18 minute mark to ensure you don't overbake them.
Cool & Cut: Cool brownies completely, then cut into squares using a sharp knife OR plastic knife--both work great! Drizzle with melted white chocolate if you like! (See Note 2).
Notes
Note 1: You DO NOT follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix. Just use the dry cake mix and add other ingredients, per the recipe. Note 2: To melt chocolate chips, place 1/2 to a 1 cup of chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high power in 20 second increments until you are able to stir the chips. If you want to thin out the chocolate a bit for easy drizzling, add about 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil and stir well. Nutrition information is only an estimate.
