Instructions

Ready to make these sweet little bites? Let’s dive into the steps!

Prepare the Red Velvet Coating

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, softened butter, and egg. Stir until everything is fully mixed into a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it in the fridge for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Prepare the Oreo Centers

Take the Oreo cookies and carefully twist them open, removing the cream center. You’ll use just the cookie part for the center of each bite.

Form the Bites

Take about a tablespoon of the red velvet dough and flatten it in your hands. Place the Oreo cookie piece in the center of the dough and gently seal it up, making sure the Oreo is completely covered. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake

Bake the red velvet Oreo bites for about 8-10 minutes or until they’re set and slightly golden on the edges. Be careful not to overbake, as you want them to stay soft.

Drizzle with Caramel

Once the bites are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes. While they’re cooling, drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the top of each bite. For extra indulgence, you can also dip them in a bit of cream cheese frosting before drizzling with caramel.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the caramel has set, serve these bites on a plate and watch them disappear in no time! Perfect for snacking, parties, or just treating yourself to something special.
