Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies

These Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies are fantastic! Fudgy red velvet brownies, delicious Oreo truffle and melted chocolate combine to make the three layers of this spectacular dessert. They are a hit with everyone who try them!

With Valentine’s around the corner I was brainstorming some festive recipes I could be doing and it dawned on me to make my favorite brownie recipe with a red-twist!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1⅓ cups flour
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 fluid ounce bottle of red food coloring

OREO TRUFFLE LAYER

• 1 pkg. Double Stuffed Oreos
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

CHOCOLATE LAYER

• 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
• 1 Tablespoon shortening

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat. Add food coloring and mix again.
2. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan.
3. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
4. While brownies are cooling, make Oreo truffle layer.

1. Crush Oreos finely in a food processor or by putting them in a ziplock bag and smashing them until finely ground with a rolling pin.
2. When Oreos are finely crushed, using hands (or a spoon, I just think hands are faster), mash softened cream cheese and crushed Oreos until well combined.
3. When Brownies have cooled completely, place layer of Oreo truffle on top.

1. Combine chocolate chips and shortening together in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment until melted and smooth.
2. Evenly spread over the top of Oreo Truffle layer.
3. Let set up in fridge before cutting into.
