Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Add-ins
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a thick dough.
- Add the Goodies: Gently fold in the toffee bits to evenly distribute them throughout the batter. If desired, add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts now as well.
- Press into the Pan: Spread and press the dough mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring a uniform layer for even baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy this sweet treat.
Notes
- Using parchment paper in the baking dish makes removing the bars easier.
- Optional chocolate chips and nuts add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted to keep it simpler.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of vegetable oil.
