Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan and Preheat the Oven - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Cake - In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, egg, melted butter, milk, and salt. Mix the ingredients together until fully incorporated.
- Add the Oreos - Pour the cake mix into the prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, spread the cake batter until smooth. Add the Oreos in an even layer and gently press them down so they are slightly sunk into the batter.
- Bake the Red Velvet Oreo Cake - Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean. Allow the cake to fully cool on a wire rack.
- Microwave the Candy Bars - Microwave the unwrapped candy bars in the microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals. Microwave until the candy is fully melted.
- Spread Melted Candy Bars - Pour the melted candy bars over the cake and use a rubber spatula to smooth it out. Let the bars set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle and Slice - Microwave the chocolate in the microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals. Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars. Let the bars set in the fridge for five minutes, then slice and serve them.
Notes
These red velvet Oreo cake bars can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Be sure to keep them in a dry and cool area. Avoid storing them in sunlight, as this will cause the chocolate to melt.
The good this is that you can also keep them in the fridge for up to one week. Let them reach room temperature before serving.
In addition, you can also freeze these bars to save you stress by making them ahead of time. Once cooled, wrap the bars in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container or gallon bag. The bars can be frozen for 3-6 months and thawed at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Any brand of red velvet cake mix will work just fine. In addition, you can also use any type of Oreo to change it up a bit. Try it with chocolate, golden, or even birthday cake Oreos. You can even use double-stuff Oreos, mini Oreos, or Oreo thins as well.
These bars are great for birthday parties, bake sales, BBQs, and parties. They are easy to serve, as they are already sliced, making them convenient and mess-free. You can also easily package them individually if you want to give them out as a party favor.
