Celebrate Love with Delicious Valentine Cake Mix Bars

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, and what better way to express your affection than by baking a batch of delightful Valentine Cake Mix Bars? These bars are not only easy to make but also a perfect blend of sweetness and charm, thanks to the heart sprinkles and red M&M’s. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner or a festive gathering with friends, these bars will add a sweet touch to your celebration.

Ingredients for Sweet Success

Bars

  • 15.25 ounces vanilla cake mix or white (1 box)
  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding (1 box) just the powder – don’t make the pudding
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 large eggs

Decorate

  • ¼ cup heart sprinkles &/or Valentine jimmies
  • ¼ cup red M&M’s

Step-by-Step Instructions

Baking the Bars

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that your bars bake evenly and to perfection.

  2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside. This will prevent the bars from sticking and make for an easy release once they’re baked.

  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Stir until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be smooth, with no lumps.

  4. Add Some Love: Gently fold in the heart sprinkles or Valentine jimmies. This adds a festive touch to your bars and a little surprise in every bite.

  5. Spread and Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-26 minutes, or until the bars are set. You can test this by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they’re done.

  6. Cool Completely: Allow the bars to cool completely before adding any frosting or additional decorations. This step is crucial to ensure that your toppings don’t melt or slide off.

Decorating the Bars

Once the bars have cooled, it’s time to get creative! Sprinkle a generous amount of heart sprinkles and red M&M’s over the top. Feel free to add your personal touch with additional decorations like chocolate drizzle or a dusting of powdered sugar.
