Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars

These Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars are chewy, colorful, and easy to make in under 35 minutes using a simple yellow cake mix base. Packed with M&Ms and chocolate chips, they’re the perfect no-fuss dessert for your Easter table.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 2 eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Easter M&M candies
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft, thick dough forms. It may be slightly sticky—that's okay.
  • Gently fold in the Easter M&Ms and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. The dough will be colorful and textured.
  • Spread the dough into the prepared baking dish. Press it evenly across the bottom using a spatula or your fingertips.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set. The top should look slightly puffed but not jiggly.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely. Once cooled, slice into 16 even squares.
