I am all about an easy dessert, you guys should know that by now. Trust me, I appreciate a treat that took hours to prepare…I just don’t want to be the one making it. Ya feel?
And using cake mix as a short cut is something I love to do from time to time.
These bars are ridiculously easy and perfect for any celebration in your life…from Easter to a Tuesday night. I am telling you, they take like 10 minutes to put together (max) and just another 20 to bake. They’re actually a spin on these bars, but are SO much quicker!
If you have self restraint you’ll let them cool before you eat them, but yeah…I always dig into these bad boys warm. With ice cream if I’m being honest.
I actually used Pillsbury’s new “Purely Simple” white cake mix in these. Let’s talk about this product for a quick second…have you tried it?
The Purely Simple mix is a total game changer.. there are no preservative, or artificial colors. The ingredients list is super straight-forward…you know exactly what you are eating. Such a great product!
At the bottom of this post I have a chance for you to win a nice box of Pillsbury Baking products including the Simple Pure mix AND a $100 Visa Gift Card to help you celebrate!
I just mixed the cake mix with some melted butter and eggs. It forms a thick cookie-type dough, which I then divided in half. I pressed half in the pan and topped it with a whole huge scoop of chocolate hazelnut spread…
Then I dropped the rest of the dough on top…
You just bake them and then you have this goodness…

*I was compensated for this post by Pillsbury, but all thoughts are completely my own. I really love this cake mix!
Excellent way to use up some nutella I was given! These taste great, super easy and everyone loved them! Im making another batch but adding coconut to the nutella 🙂
Mt quick answer to Hazelnut spread and cake mix. Gotta try them now..
Made these last night – brought them to work today – Uh-mayy-zing! So good!! My co-workers said they could make themselves sick on these, haha!
Do you think there’d be any issues with doubling the recipe for a 9×13 pan?
No, I think that would be fine…your bars might be a bit thicker, since a 9×13 isn’t quite double the size of a 9×9, but just adjust your bake time accordingly!
DO YOU THINK TRADER JOE’S DULCE DE LECHE IN JARS WOULD BE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE?
Oh I bet that would be great! They might be a little gooier, but that’s not a bad thing…and since the sugar content in dulce de leche is a bit higher, you might get a little more caramelization at the edges.
That is awesome that Pillsbury is listened to us and created a better cake mix! These bars look amazing 🙂
How yummy! Can’t wait to try that!
Hi! this recipe looks and sounds amazing! I definitely want to try it but I live in Peru and there are no Pillsbury products in here 🙁
Is there any recipe to replace the cake mix with?
Thanks!
I need this in my life right now!! I almost damaged my keyboard by drooling all over it. WOW!
