Cake Mix Cookie Bars
If you don’t make desserts often, sweetened condensed milk might not be a staple in your kitchen. You can use a couple of substitutes if you can’t get to the store to buy some. One option is making your own sweetened condensed milk using milk and sugar; the result won’t be as thick or caramelized, but it will do. Other sweetened condensed milk substitutes exist, including using evaporated milk or coconut milk.
Ingredients
- 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and oil. Press two-thirds of the mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Set remaining cake mixture aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk, chocolate chips and butter. Microwave, uncovered, until chips and butter are melted; stir until smooth. Pour over crust.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of remaining cake mixture over top. Bake until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Cool before cutting.
