Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pastel-colored M&M’s (Easter edition)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional) Can substitute with dark chocolate or butterscotch chips.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Choose a greased 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- If using white chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, shaping the surface flat.
- Sprinkle the pastel M&M’s over the top and press them gently into the dough.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan, then slice into bars and enjoy.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars tender and chewy. Use a plastic knife or a knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. These bars freeze well when wrapped tightly.
