I couldn’t resist. After making the Charleston Chew Cookie Bars, I just couldn’t help myself in trying it out again. This time I went with the classic M&Ms to see how they would play out! Definitely does not disappoint!! These cookie bars are slowly becoming one of my favorite desserts to make! I’m already thinking about my next combo!! 🙂

Hi, can you use yellow cake mix instead of butter? I’m planning on making these for the 4th and happen to have yellow mix on hand.
I hope you answer, thanks!!
Hi Tessa! Yes, you should be just fine using a yellow cake mix instead of the butter recipe! I used butter simply because that’s what I had in my pantry 😉 I think any white/yellow cake mix would be delicious!
I hope you like them ~ I’d love to hear how they turn out!!
Happy 4th!!

Totally irresistible!!! And so easy!!!!
