I love an easy recipe and these Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars could not be any easier to make. When it comes to holidays spending time with my family is the most important so less time in the kitchen is a plus. 

Ingredients:

For this recipe, you only need a few simple ingredients.

  • Yellow cake mix: You can use any brand for this.
  • Eggs: I used two large eggs
  • Oil: For this recipe, I like to use vegetable oil since it does not add any flavors to the cake mix. Any oil you have on hand will work but know that different oils have different flavors and could change the flavor of your bars slightly.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Easter/Spring M&M Candies: You can really toss in any of your favorite candies little Easter candy.
  • Chocolate chip: I used semi-sweet but milk or even dark would work for this recipe.

Directions:

Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then prepare a 9×13 casserole dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray then set aside.

  • Tip: Try making this recipe with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, funfetti, or strawberry. 

Step two: Now mix together cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Once everything is mixed you can fold in Easter M&M candies and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Baking Directions:

Step four: Now you can place it in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes then allow it to cool completely. Slice into squares and serve!

  • Tip: Allowing your bars to cool before slicing is important so don’t skip that part!
