They’re so quick and easy to make, and you can toss whatever toppings you want in it! Whether you want nuts, butterscotch, peanut butter, m&m’s, or crunched up candy bars, the skies the limits! 

If you have never heard of this beautiful creation, today is your lucky day! These lazy girl’s cookie bars are made with cake mix and minimal ingredients making it so great for whipping it up quickly.

When I made these I did half butterscotch and chocolate chip and the other half mini M&M’s and chocolate chips. I couldn’t decide which sounded better so I said let’s split it and make both! It turned out delicious and I’m glad I decided to go for both flavor combos!

  • mini chocolate chips
  • Mini M&M’s and Butterscotch Chips (OPTIONAL)

  3. Then if you have toppings sprinkle them on top, or if you want to do just one flavor mix it in the batter, go ahead.
  4. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and you can put a toothpick through or knife and comes out clean.
