Are you having a hard day? Are your children making you a little crazy? Does it feel like every day is Monday?
I feel your pain and sometimes you just need an easy dessert recipe to make everything right again! (Check out all my chocolate desserts here!)
These cake mix cookie bars are our family go to recipe for parties, events, church functions and family game night. They are easy and delicious, a throw together scrumptious taste of heaven in a chocolate concoction. I used to call them Almost Like Candy Bars but honestly, just call them delicious!
If you don’t eat eggs this is perfect because there are none!
This is a family favorite not only because of its taste but for the use of simple ingredients. I never take these goodies to a function without being asked for the recipe. You can’t go wrong!
Ingredients
- devil’s food cake mix
- margarine or butter (softened)
- butterscotch chips
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- white chocolate chips
- Heath English toffee bits
- sweetened condensed milk
See the recipe card for quantities.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
I always use nonstick cooking spray in my prepared pan before I add the cake mix.
This is just to make sure there’s no sticking to the bottom and sides.
In large bowl, stir together cake mix and melted butter or margarine.
Make sure butter or margarine is at room temperature. With pastry blender or fork, cut in margarine until crumbly.
Sprinkle evenly in bottom of greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle with butterscotch chips.
Add chocolate and white chocolate chips.
Lastly, sprinkle the Heath bits on top.
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes in preheated oven or until light golden brown.
These bars WILL harden in a few minutes. Just make sure the chunks of chips are melted enough on top.
Cool completely in your baking pan and serve plain or with whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I usually just take these easy cake mix cookie bars to potlucks in the same dish but you can also slice and serve on a separate plate.
Tips
- These bars WILL harden in a few minutes. Just make sure your chips are melted.
- You can mix and match your toppings (chocolate chips, heath bits, nuts, coconut, etc.) to your liking. You can’t have too much or too many!
- One substitution is the type of cake mix. I’ve only used a type of chocolate cake mix but be adventurous and try a yellow cake mix!
- I sometimes double this recipe and put it in a 10×13 (or lasagna size) dish. Allow extra cooking time.
- I judge this dessert as done when the cake mix that pokes through the top starts to brown. If you don’t cook it long enough it will just be gooier!
Storage
Store these in an airtight container on your countertop. I use tinfoil or bake in a dish that has a lid. I’ve never tried freezing because these chewy chocolate chip cookie bars never lasted long enough!
