Try out my red velvet fudge bars which are a red velvet cake mix base recipe! Start with a cake mix and pair it with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, egg, and oil. That is all you need to make these layered red velvet bars with a fudge-like center.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day or Christmas, date night at home, or just a treat to break up the week. I love a good cake mix dessert, and these fudge bars are one that we keep in constant rotation in our home.

Ingredients Needed
Cake Mix – For the base you will reach for a box of red velvet cake mix. Any brand will work for this recipe.
Oil – Canola or vegetable oil are the best oils to use. These oils have minimal flavor and help to keep the bars nice and moist.
Eggs – Large eggs that are at room temperature are best. If your eggs are cold that is okay. I just find room-temperature eggs blend better with the ingredients in the recipe.
Sweetened Condensed Milk – The fudge-like texture comes from the condensed milk in this recipe. Ultra creamy, sweet, and the perfect ingredient to use for mixing up these bars.
Chocolate Chips – Make sure to reach for a heaping scoop of chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.
Butter – Real unsalted butter is best. Since there is salt in the cake mix I find if you use salted butter it can make the bars a bit overly salty in flavor.
