Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 small box Reeses Pieces (8 ounces / 226 grams)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup / 113 grams) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and generously coating a 9×13-inch pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- Create a smooth, uniform batter by whisking together yellow cake mix, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully integrated.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a uniform layer.
- Delicately scatter Reese’s Pieces across the surface, lightly pressing them into the batter to secure their placement.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn golden brown and the center appears set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely within the pan before cutting into individual squares.
- For optimal texture and flavor, store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature, consuming within 5 days.
- Experiment with alternative mix-ins like M&M’s, peanut butter cups, or chopped nuts to personalize the recipe.
- Consider lining the pan with parchment paper for effortless removal and clean-up.
Notes
- Prevent Overbaking by checking the bars early, as they’ll continue setting while cooling, ensuring a soft, gooey texture.
- Customize Mix-Ins with endless possibilities like different candies, nuts, or chocolate types to match personal taste preferences.
- Simplify Removal by using parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface that allows clean, easy cutting of perfect squares.
- Maximize Freshness through proper storage in an airtight container, keeping the bars moist and delicious for up to five days at room temperature.
