Here are the ingredients you will need to make these delicious Funfetti Gooey Bars:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Funfetti cake mix
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Funfetti Gooey Bars:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the Funfetti cake mix, melted butter, and egg until a thick dough forms. Press about ⅔ of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Step 3: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the dough layer. Then, slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
- Step 4: Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the condensed milk layer. It’s okay if some gaps remain; this adds to the gooey texture. Finish by sprinkling additional colorful sprinkles on top.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and lightly golden brown. The center will remain slightly gooey but will firm up as it cools. Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
