Easter M&M Cookie Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - ⅓ cup vegetable oil
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 cup Easter M&M candies
06 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly coat a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. The mixture will be thick and sticky. Gently fold in the colorful Easter M&M candies and semi-sweet chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
03 - Spread the cookie bar dough evenly into your prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set. Don't overbake if you want them chewy!
04 - Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set up properly. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.

# Notes:

01 - These festive cookie bars are perfect for Easter gatherings or spring celebrations!
02 - You can easily customize these bars by using seasonal M&Ms for any holiday throughout the year.
