Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix (about 15.25 ounces)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter (1 stick)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 small box Reece’s Pieces Candies (about 4 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix until the dough is well combined and gooey.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing the dough.
  4. Prepare Pan: Transfer the dough to your prepared baking pan and press evenly into the corners using your hands or a spatula.
  5. Add Reece’s Pieces: Sprinkle the Reece’s Pieces candies evenly on top, gently pressing them into the dough so they adhere during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Slightly underbaking helps maintain gooeyness.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper ensures easy removal and cleaner edges.
  • You can substitute peanut butter chips for some of the chocolate chips for extra peanut butter flavor.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • If you prefer crispier bars, bake an additional 3-5 minutes but watch carefully to avoid drying out.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
