These Black and White Cookie Bars start with a cake mix! So easy and yummy!
I’m all about a short cut.
Don’t you love driving with someone and you take a detour and they’re all, “Where are you going?” and you’re all, “oh, it’s just a short cut”.
I suppose I think short cuts are impressive because I spend most of my time in the state of lost confusion.
Using cake mixes to build on in recipes is a favorite of mine.
1 box white cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 stick salted butter (1/4 cup)
Preheat oven to 350.
Spray a 13 x 9 baking pan lightly cooking spray.
Beat cake mix, eggs and oil in a large bowl with mixer until
blended (about 30 seconds on medium)
Press 2/3 of the dough into pan.
Microwave condensed milk, chocolate chips and butter in a bowl on high
for 1 minute.
Stir until smooth. Pour mixture over crust.
Crumble the remaining 1/3 dough over the top of the chocolate
Bake 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool and cut into bars.
Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Would yellow cakemix work? I don’t have a white cakemix.
Oh yes! That would be fine!

Short cuts are always a good thing, especially if it means making something this yummy a little easier:)

i love when driving shortcuts work out, but it's always so humiliating when they don't!
love these bars and anything making the trip from ingredients to finished product easier!
I'm with you. Both on getting lost and on the cake mix. Especially the cake mix. Anything that gets cake in my mouth quickly is a winner in my book.
I'm excited for some cake mix recipes, because I have a bunch of cake mixes that are expiring soon/have barely expired.
Hi! I have a simple, cake box recipe. Turn your cake mix into cookies! They are delicious and can be topped with a complimenting frosting, i.e. red velvet cake mix and cream cheese frosting! Hope this helps a little! Here is my blog link with the recipe I use!

I like to use cake mixes too, especially when i am short on time. That way, i get to spend more time playing around with the decorations….hehe
I haven't attempted making these bars from a cake mix but this idea is brilliant. I am looking forward to more of your "shortcut" recipes 🙂
