Equipment

  • 9” x 13” Baking Pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Liquid Measuring Cup
  • Dry Measuring Cup
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow cake mix 13.25 ounces
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • cup water
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9" x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until no lumps appear.
  • Fold in the ¾ cup chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the top and bake for 24 minutes or until the bars are golden brown. Don't overbake these bars. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes back just barely gooey, pull the pan from the oven.
  • Let the bars cool for about 30 minutes before slicing. The bars need that cooling time to set up and can fall apart easily if they're too warm.

Notes

Storage and Freezing
  • Cover the bars with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For freezing, individually wrap bars in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to three months.
A 15.25-ounce or 13.25-ounce cake mix can be used for this recipe. Follow the instructions as written.
