Ingredients

  • 1 Box of Yellow Cake Mix 13.25 ounces
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • ⅓ Cup Water
  • ¾ Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips + Extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

  2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and mix until no lumps appear.

  4. Fold in the ¾ cup chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  5. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Let the bars rest in the pan for 20-30 minutes.

  8. Once cool, slice the bars.

Recipe Notes

Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
