Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies

So I haven't posted in a long while but I made these pretty amazing brownies the other day that I would like to share with everyone considering the tremendous amount of feedback I've had over them.


Ingredients


1 Red Velvet cake mix

1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 package Jell-o instant white chocolate pudding 
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 package Oreos
8 ounce package cream cheese
11/2 cups chocolate chips
mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions


Step 1


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine cake mix, melted butter, eggs, pudding mix, vegetable oil and mix well until thoroughly combined (2-3 minutes on medium of electric mixer).


Step 2


Spray a 9x13 with nonstick cooking spray. I like the baking variety that has flour in it. Then spread the red velvet brownie layer into the pan. It will be VERY thick, use the back of a spoon to help spread it into all edges of the pan. 


Note: I used to my hands due to thickness and it worked better than a spoon.


Step 3


Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely before flipping out.


Step 4


Crush package of Oreos in a food processor (or in a large plastic bag and rolling pin).


Note: Instead of buying Oreos I used two cups of Chocolate cookie crumbs and added a cup and a half of icing sugar to sweeten the taste of the cream cheese.


Step 5


Melt cream cheese for 15 seconds in a microwave to soften.


Step 6


Stir together crushed Oreos and cream cheese until blended smooth.


Step 7


Carefully spread out Oreo truffle mixture on top of baked red velvet brownies. Use your hands to help press it down instead of spreading to avoid tearing the brownies.


Step 8


Melt chocolate candy bark (or chocolate chips) and pour over top Oreo truffle layer.


Step 9


Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips while still warm.


Step 10


Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
