Gooey Triple Chocolate Cake Bars

Jump to Recipe

I’m not usually one to use a box mix in baking. I just appreciate knowing exactly what’s going into my food. It’s certainly not because box mixes aren’t delicious. On the contrary! Box mixes have got it going on and they know it.

I’m also not usually one to waste food.

Around Christmas time my church hands out boxes of cake mix to the kids in the nursery so they can make a birthday cake for Jesus. It’s a cute idea, but there’s no way I’m going to make a whole cake when there’s peanut butter blossoms and caramels to be eaten.

I usually bring the treats I make to share at church and cake doesn’t travel that well, so I went searching for a few recipes that would use up these mixes in a more portable way.

One easy recipe was right on the box. You’ll see my funfetti cookies sometime in the weeks to come. So cute and fun!

Today I’m sharing these gooey triple chocolate cake bars. Dark chocolate. Semisweet chocolate. White chocolate. Triple chocolate! I call them cake because they use the boxed cake mix, but they really have the consistency of a brownie with the taste of an Oreo cookie. It’s a good thing.
