Report
These 4 ingredient Carrot Cake Bars are made from a cake mix! They're good enough without frosting, but for a special treat top them with cream cheese frosting.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, cream cheese, egg and butter until completely mixed. The dough will be very thick.
- Press the dough into a greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake for 14-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool.
- For the frosting: Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar, 1/2 a cup at at time, until it is thoroughly mixed. Add the vanilla and beat the frosting on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
- Frost the carrot cake bars with the frosting and top with the chopped walnuts.
Notes
- We baked our bars for 14 minutes exactly and thought the texture was perfect (very soft). If you want them just a bit "cakier" or if your bars seem too "raw" for your liking, let them bake an additional 3-4 minutes.
