    An out-of-this-world funfetti cake mix cookie bar recipe that only requires five ingredients!Β 

    Thick and Chewy Funfetti Cake Mix Cookie Bars

    Sometimes when the stores are having deals or sales on boxed cake mix, I always try to stock-up when I can. I hardly ever use cake mix for cakes, but I like to use them in other ways - creative ways.

    Do you always use cake mix just for cakes? There are just so many different goodies you can bake with cake mix that make it so easy.

    The plus side is that you usually only dirty one bowl - I have noticed that with the goodies that I bake with cake mix. Easy and hardly no dishes? I'm in. Aren't you?

    When I first knew that I wanted to make something with cake mix, funfetti came straight into my mind. Cake mix and sprinkles? Oh yeah! I originally wanted to try to have them to be gooey bars, but I was unsuccessful - back to the drawing board on that one. I know you guys will still love these just as much.

    I think another idea will come and hit me soon. Perfect for you and I. πŸ™‚

    For this recipe, you can use any kind of cake mix that you have on hand - I used yellow. For the chocolate chips, I mixed them with butterscotch chips as well. If you only have chocolate chips, then just use those. The taste will not be affected too much.

    You will need to start with softened butter at room temperature. If you have the time, just leave the stick of butter on the counter for a couple of hours or you can use a shortcut. I like to nuke mine for 5 seconds, turn it over and then nuke it again for 5 seconds.

    So easy and it is the perfect softened texture. You will then need to add in the egg and cake mix. I always like to fold in my sprinkles and chocolate chips.
