Desserts don't have to be made from scratch to me be delicious. These Cake Mix Cookie Bars are made with a box cake mix and turned into amazing cookie bars. My entire family just loves this simple recipe.
Easy Dessert Recipe:
Cookie bars are one of my favorite dessert recipes. These Cake Mix Cookie Bars are so simple to make and they taste amazing. They are loaded with chocolate chips and M&Ms. I slice them into squares to serve. It's the perfect simple dessert recipe.
How to make Cake Mix Cookie Bars:
Step one: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray then set aside.
- Tip: Do not over spray your casserole dish. You just want a small amount to help from sticking.
Step two: Mix together cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Once mixed fold in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup baking M&Ms.
Step three: Spread dough into your prepared dish then top with the remaining cup chocolate chips and baking M&Ms.
- Tip: To help spread your batter start by spraying your spatula with nonstick cooking spray.
Step four: Bake for 20-25 minutes then allow to cool completely. Slice into squares and serve.

I tried this cookie bars using sugar free cake mix.sugar free choc chips. It was very good
I see a question regarding a pudding mix, yet there is no pudding mix listed in the recipe...should there be?
Hi Sheralyn! I have had some mixed reviews on this recipe so I decided to go back to the drawing board and re-test. I made this without the pudding mix now and the bars hold up much better. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Made these tonight. They were good but a little to crumbly.
I would of liked for them to hold together better.
Hi Carl, sorry that happened. I have this on my list to test this week and adjust as needed. If you have any other concerns let me know!
Can the m&m be switched out for skittles, I want to try it with red and purple skittles?
Yea you definitely could! I just know Skittles don't bake as well, but they should work!
What size pan do you use?
Hi Teresa, for this recipe I use a 9x13.
Do you just add the pudding mix or do you make the pudding and add it ?
Just the pudding mix!
My family and I absolutely love these. They are so, so, sooo good and ridiculously easy. I love making them for school bake sales.
Awesome!!! So happy to hear that you liked them so well =)
These look SO good!!
