Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars
Ingredients:
1 box vanilla or yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins & Toppings:
1 cup pastel M&M’s (or any Easter-themed candy)
1 cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup sprinkles (optional, for extra color)
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Stir until the dough is fully blended. It will be thicker than traditional cookie dough.
Step 3: Add the Mix-Ins
Fold in the pastel M&M’s and white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
The center may appear slightly soft, but it will continue to set as it cools.
Step 5: Cool & Slice
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
Once cooled, slice into 12–16 bars, depending on your desired size.
