Spring Cake Mix Cookie Bars are a colorful variation of chocolate chip cookie bars made using cake mix. These bars are tasty and easy to customize.

I think most people know how to make chocolate chip cookie bars using cake mix. With spring and Easter around the corner, I thought it would be fun to change these cookies up and add some color. I wanted them to retain their chocolatey goodness but didn’t want them to be all brown so I decided to use M&M’s. I found the spring pastel colors on sale at the grocery store, and picked up a bag of milk chocolate as well as a bag of dark chocolate. I recommend you use a larger 9×13 pan instead of a smaller size, if you use the smaller size the cooking time will be off and they might not be cooked all of the way through. These bars are tasty and easy to customize. Part of their beauty is that they’re so easy to make, even if they don’t photograph as well as I’d have liked. Here’s how I made them.
