Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix softened butter, one egg, and red velvet cake mix until a thick dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined. Add the second egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth with no lumps. Stir in mini chocolate chips, then pour this mixture over the red velvet crust.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the cheesecake edges begin to brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing into bars.
Notes
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze them for up to a month.
