These cookie bars are delicious! They are simplified by using a cake mix for the base and adding all your favorite chips, nuts etc. You could even add holiday M&M's or your favorite candy bars chopped up! Easy to take to a potluck or office!

How To Make easy loaded cookie bars

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X13 glass pan with PAM or grease lightly with shortening.

    In a large bowl combine cake mix, eggs and melted butter. Stir just to combine.
  • 3
    Add chips, nuts and coconut, mix just to combine- don't over mix.
  • 4
    Place batter in pan and push into place, I find it easier using my hands. Even the dough out in the pan.
