    Ingredients

    Ingredients for recipe including egg, butter, and chocolate chips.
    • Red velvet cake mix: This cake mix serves as the base for the brownies. Betty Crocker makes a great red velvet cake mix that guarantees moist crumbs. 
    • Unsalted butter: Adds moisture and richness. You can substitute vegetable oil or canola oil. 
    • Milk: Gives a smooth and consistent texture. Use 2% or whole milk if possible, but any works. 
    • Large egg: Serves as a binding agent, holding the brownies together. 
    • Chocolate chips: Use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate chips. 

    How To Make Red Velvet Cake Mix Brownies

    Red Velvet Cake Mix Brownies come together fast with just a few ingredients. Start by preheating your oven and lining either a 9x9 or 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Process shots showing how to make recipe including prepping the batter and pressing into the pan with chocolate chips.

    Step 1. Mix dry ingredients. 

    In a large mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine the red velvet cake mix with melted unsalted butter, milk, and a large egg. Mix until the batter is smooth.

    Step 2. Add chocolate chips. 

    Then, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

    Step 3. Spread batter. 

    Lastly, pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. The batter will be thick. I find the best way to spread the brownie mix is to press it into the pan using damp hands. 

    Step 4. bake and cool: 

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Finally, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. This helps them set and achieve the right texture.

    Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container. 

    NOTE: You can print the FULL recipe with all ingredients & detailed instructions below!

    Recipe Tips

    • Line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This makes it easy to lift the brownies out for clean cutting.
    • Use white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor profile.
    • Serve the warm red velvet cake mix brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
    • Make a cream cheese frosting. Combine an 8 ounce package of cream cheese (softened) with ½ cup of softened unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually incorporate 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting achieves a fluffy texture.
