When you need to bake for a big group, whip up a batch of these cake mix bars. Since they’re studded with multicolored sprinkles and white chocolate chips, they’re festive enough for a birthday party but simple enough for a casual potluck. The recipe starts with a box of cake mix<\/a>, so it’s super quick to mix and guaranteed to yield perfect results.<\/p>\n Making bar cookies from cake mix is a great way to make a boxed cake mix taste homemade<\/a>. Even the small additions of egg and milk enrich the mix, making it extra-flavorful and moist. Since the basic recipe is so simple, it’s easy to play around with too: Add your favorite candies to the batter or serve the bars with fruit or ice cream.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, stir together the yellow cake mix, egg, milk and oil. The mixture will be thick.<\/p>\n Stir in the white baking chips and jimmies.<\/p>\n Spread the batter into a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If the batter is tricky to spread, use a greased offset spatula. Greasing the spatula will help prevent it from sticking to the cake.<\/p>\n Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n Cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into bars.<\/p>\n Store the bars made with cake mix right in the pan, covered tightly with storage wrap or foil. Once they’re sliced, store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They are best kept on the countertop, but you can also store them in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n At room temperature, cake mix bars will keep for three or four days. In the refrigerator, they’ll last for a week, but they may get a bit dry toward the end. Revive them by popping them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.<\/p>\n Yes, many cakes freeze well<\/a> including these cake bars from cake mix. To freeze, allow the bars to cool completely. You can freeze the entire pan, covered tightly with two layers, such as storage wrap and foil. Or, slice them into bars and freeze them in zip-top freezer bags. You can freeze the bars for three months. Defrost them in the refrigerator the night before serving.<\/p>\n Be sure to grease the cake pan<\/a> properly. If your pan isn’t nonstick, consider lining it with parchment as well. Grease the pan under the paper, lay a long sheet of parchment over the bottom and grease the paper too. As a bonus, if the paper is long enough to stick up above the sides of the cake, you can use it to easily remove the cake from the pan!<\/p>\n Yes, these bar cookies from cake mix can be turned into a 13×9 cake recipe<\/a>. However, since the bars will be a bit thicker, you may need to bake them for a few extra moments to cook through.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These easy cake mix bars are festive, fast and flavorful, and they make the perfect dessert for a crowd.
