Main Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to evenly distribute their color and texture. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips as well for added richness.
- Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly before cutting into squares for serving.
Notes
- Greasing the pan well helps avoid sticking and makes removal easier.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure the cake mix and chocolate chips are dairy-free.
- Feel free to substitute rainbow sprinkles with other seasonal or favorite sprinkles.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
