Description

These Holiday Cake Mix Cookie Bars are a festive and easy-to-make treat perfect for the holiday season. Made with a yellow or vanilla cake mix and loaded with colorful holiday chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles, these bars are chewy, buttery, and full of holiday cheer. They are baked until golden and set, then cut into perfect squares for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or vanilla cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup holiday-colored chocolate chips or M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/3 cup holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow or vanilla cake mix, melted unsalted butter, and eggs. Stir well until the dough is thick and uniform.
  3. Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the holiday-colored chocolate chips or M&Ms, white chocolate chips if using, and holiday sprinkles to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Press into pan: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Press the dough firmly into the pan to create an even layer.
  5. Bake: Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  6. Cool and cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into 20 bars and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute the holiday-colored chocolate chips with any favorite chocolate chips or candy pieces for a customized look.
  • For easier removal, let the bars cool fully and use the parchment paper paper sling to lift the bars out of the pan.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze them for longer storage.
  • If white chocolate chips are not available or preferred, simply omit them without affecting the texture.
