Cake Batter Bars

I saw these bars awhile ago and wanted to make them so bad! I finally did, and {LOVED} them... They were so perfectly chewy, it was like having cake batter 

melt in your mouth!(: I had people over last night, and they were gone

by the end of the night. I even had a friend ask me for the recipe! 

ENJOY!

PICTURES!

Funny thing, I didn't even take any of these pictures {obviously}, but I did edit them! Haha(: They're from a weekend trip my family took Up North a few weeks ago. You're probably wondering why I am wearing the same thing in all the pictures... I only brought one sweatshirt and it was WAY colder than I expected! Enjoy!

because of the funny sounds the rocks made when they hit the water.}

{SO SERIOUS.}

{I have a super weird look on my face... haha I guess I was very

into looking at my rocks!}

Words cannot describe how perfectly DELICIOUS these

other texture you can think of, but they were easy and fast- very convenient!(; 

Enjoy this recipe from Lovin' From the Oven!

   White Chocolate Gooey Cake Bars

1 box yellow cake mix

1 egg

1/2 c. butter {1 stick}, softened

4 1/2 full graham crackers

10 oz. bag white chocolate chips

2 c. mini marshmallows

1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure that it goes up all the way on the sides of the pan.
3. Mix together the cake mix, egg, and butter with hands until a nice, thick dough forms. 
4. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer with graham crackers, white chocolate chips, then marshmallows. Top the mixture with remaining dough and press evenly. Drizzle condensed milk on top.
5. Bake for 28-33 minutes, until completely cooked and golden brown on top. Remove from oven. 
6. Let the bars cool for 5 minutes, and then remove the bars from the pan, using the aluminum foil.
7. Cool completely and use a knife that has been run under hot water (do after every couple of cuts) to cut into pieces.
