Cookies and chocolate chips add an intense chocolate taste to these Red Velvet Oreo Fudge Bars. They are the perfect treat for snacking on this Valentine’s Day.
There are some food trends that I just never get on board with very often. How do you feel about red velvet? I have been seeing different red velvet treats popping up all over the place, so I decided to jump on board for a short while.
Recently I asked my Facebook fans if anyone loved or hated red velvet…it was pretty evenly split on the responses. So, I decided that the red velvet cake mix on my counter was getting used. I had picked it up on a whim one night, then I had started to question my choice of cake flavor. Red Velvet here we come!
Now you knew that I couldn’t just make plain red velvet bars now, didn’t you? This is me! Hi, my name is Jocelyn, and I can’t just bake plain things. Now that I have that off my chest, let’s get started.
My stocked cupboards just beg me to pull out goodness and try new things in my kitchen. Plus, I’m really not a big fan of red velvet by itself, sooooo…to the cupboards I went. These bars need an overwhelming amount of chocolate for me to be on board. What should we add?
Oreos, hot fudge, and chocolate chips should do it.
This combination of chocolate extreme has me loving red velvet. I have been converted!
These easy bars start with a cake mix. You know how I feel about cake mix by now. We are BFF’s. A few simple ingredients turn a cake mix into a delicious soft cookie bar that I just can’t resist.
Now for the topping…Oreo chunks drizzled with a hot fudge sweetened condensed milk. Anyone else guilty of eating a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk when they open the can? Mmmkay…me neither. Moving on.
Let’s stir hot fudge into that sweetened condensed milk and then try resisting it. Nope! Not even going to lie. I totally had a spoonful of that. Clean eating what?!?!
Then to top it all off, a layer of mini chocolate chips went on top of these bars. I told you it was chocolate extreme! All this chocolate has me totally and completely on board with the red velvet phase. Who else wants to join me on this red velvet train?
My train is full of cookies and chocolate 🙂

Red Velvet Oreo Fudge Bars
Ingredients
- 1 red velvet cake mix
- 8 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 18 Oreo cookies, broken in chunks
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 hot fudge topping
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, egg, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough into prepared pan. The dough will be sticky, so it will help to spray your hands with nonstick baking spray too.
- Sprinkle the Oreo cookie chunks on top of the dough.
- Stir together the sweetened condensed milk and hot fudge until it is completely mixed.
- Drizzle slowly over the dough and cookie chunks. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before trying to cut into bars. Store in a sealed container.

Julianne @ Beyond Frosting says
January 26, 2014 at 9:36 PMI don’t love Red Velvet, but I feel obligated to make recipes with it. Turns out some of them I actually really do like! But you will hardly ever see me getting a Red Velvet Cupcake at the bakery. I love the chocolaaty goodness in these bars!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
January 28, 2014 at 12:31 AMI always gravitate towards the chocolatey goodness too!! 😉
Elizabeth @ SugarHero.com says
January 27, 2014 at 3:14 AMRed velvet flavor is nothing special to me, but I admit I am a sucker for the bright red color…bring on the food dye! I would have to do what you did and add massive amounts of chocolate–you are obviously my dessert soul mate!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
January 28, 2014 at 12:33 AMHaha, dessert soul mate-I love it! 😉
Taylor @ FoodFaithFitness says

Layla @ Brunch Time Baker says
January 27, 2014 at 8:32 AMThese are the type of brownies that I wouldn’t be able to eat just one, I would have to eat at least 4 or 5! I’ve never tasted red velvet and Oreo in a brownie!
Marcie says
January 27, 2014 at 9:49 AMThese look incredible, Jocelyn! Red velvet and Oreos is one combination that I have to try very soon. 🙂

Angela @ The Spice Rack says
January 27, 2014 at 10:53 AMThese really look amazing! Both delicious and visually beautiful with the red from the red velvet cake. Oh, I’m soooo guilty of eating way more than a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk when cooking with it! It is one of those foods I can only describe as divine!
Love your blog and look forward to trying your recipes!
Thanks Jocelyn!

February 24, 2015 at 2:02 PMThis is soo good. My mistake was I put it in 8×8 pan so the fudge bubbled up in the middle. It didn’t look good but taste was amazing. (Even with my error) this is a fool proof recipe you can’t go wrong it’ll still taste good. I’m making it again NOW using a 9 X 13 pan.
