Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 (or 9x9") baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some parchment hanging over the edges of the pan to easily remove the brownies from the pan later.

Step 2

Add the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and oil to a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The batter will be very thick and will start to pull cleanly away from the edges of the bowl.

Step 3

Use a rubber spatula to fold in the white chocolate chips, if using.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the thick batter into an even layer in the pan. If desired, gently press additional white chocolate chips into the top of the brownies before baking.

Step 5

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; the brownies will continue to bake while cooling in the pan.

Step 6

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them and serving. Enjoy!
