Ingredients for Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars:

• 1 box of vanilla cake mix (or funfetti for extra color)
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (or other chips of your choice)
• ½ cup Easter-themed sprinkles (or regular sprinkles)
• 1 cup pastel-colored M&Ms (or any Easter candy of choice)

How to Make Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined, creating a thick dough-like consistency.

Step 3: Add the Mix-ins
Fold in the white chocolate chips, sprinkles, and pastel M&Ms. You can also use any other Easter-themed candy or chocolate you like!

Step 4: Bake the Bars
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (slightly moist crumbs are okay). Keep in mind that the bars will continue to firm up as they cool.

Step 5: Cool and Cut
Let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut them into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars:

• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your bars while baking. Overbaking can result in dry bars. A soft, chewy texture is the key!
• Add More Candies: For extra Easter flair, feel free to add more candies, like jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs, on top of the batter before baking.
• Colorful Frosting: For a fun twist, drizzle some pastel-colored frosting over the bars for an extra pop of sweetness!

Storage & Reheating Instructions:

• Store: Store the cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: You can freeze the bars for up to 3 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: Can I use a different cake mix flavor?
A: Yes! You can easily swap the vanilla cake mix for any flavor you like. Lemon or strawberry cake mix would work great for a spring twist.

Q2: Can I make these bars without sprinkles or M&Ms?
A: Absolutely! You can leave out the sprinkles and candy or replace them with nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chunks for a different flavor.

Q3: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: Yes, if you need a gluten-free version, just use a gluten-free cake mix and be sure all the other ingredients are gluten-free.
