Delicious Last Minute Cake Mix Bars

Make a delicious treat with this Last-Minute Cake Mix Bars recipe. Just 1 box of cake mix, eggs, butter & chocolate chips are needed!

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix chocolate works too!
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 1 bag bag of chocolate chips adjust the quantity to your liking

Instructions

  • Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cake mix bars will bake to perfection.
  • Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk the eggs. This step is crucial because it sets the foundation for the perfect texture in your bars.

  • Introduce the Melted Butter: Now, add the melted butter to the mix. Be sure to follow the order – whisked eggs first, then cake mix, and finally, melted butter. This sequence prevents the melted butter from prematurely cooking the eggs.
