Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix (dry, not prepared)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
1 egg
Instructions:
Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Make the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, melted butter, and egg.
Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Press into Pan:
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and press it evenly into the bottom using your hands or a spatula.
Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Cool & Slice:
Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve & Enjoy!
These bars are delicious warm or at room temperature. Serve as-is or with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence!
Optional Add-Ins:
Sprinkle chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or nuts on top before baking.
Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce after baking.
Enjoy your Ooey Gooey Bars! 😋🍫
