How to Make Peppermint Chocolate Cake Mix Bars

These Peppermint Chocolate Cake Mix Bars are super easy to make. They start with a box of cake mix. Combine the cake mix with some oil and eggs. Press 2/3 of the cake mix dough into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Next, melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Pour the fudge over the cake mix layer. Finally, take the remaining cake mix dough and drop it on top of the fudge layer. Pop the bars in the oven and bake. Remove the cake mix bars from the oven and top with crushed candy canes.

Tips for Making Peppermint Chocolate Cake Mix Bars

You are going to only use the dry cake mix. DO NOT make the cake!
I like to flatten the dough before dropping it on top of the fudge layer. This isn't necessary, but I like the way it looks.
Line the baking dish with non-stick aluminum foil to easily remove the baked bars.
The bars are better if you refrigerate them for several hours before cutting. This allows the fudge layer to set.
Can use any flavor of chocolate chips- semi-sweet, bitter-sweet, milk chocolate. I used Baileys Irish Cream chips. Andes mint chocolate chips would also be good.
