Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows plain mini marshmallows work too, fruity
- 1/2 cup M&Ms Easter variety
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 7×11-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper and sides with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add cake mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until combined.
- Evenly press the batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Place in the preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes. The edges will be golden brown and when placing a toothpick into the center of the bar, it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows and then the M&Ms on top of the bars making sure evenly distribute them both.
- Place the bars back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. The shells of the M&M’s will crack slightly and the marshmallows will melt into each other.
- Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 bars to serve. The knife may stick to the marshmallows. To avoid this as much as possible, spray your knife with a little nonstick cooking spray or run very hot water over the knife and wipe it clean before making each cut.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
